Humanitarian Projects
Feed the Need aids needy people in host city
For the eighth straight year, needy people in the Assembly's host city were helped by Feed the Need, which collected in-kind gifts, food and cash for the Health Care Center for the Homeless.
The Health Care Center for the Homeless was founded by Orlando family physician Richard Baxley, M.D., in 1993.
The program received more than $11,600 in contributions from exhibitors.
Assembly attendees participated by purchasing Assembly lapel pins. Pin proceeds will be split between Feed the Need and the AAFP Foundation's Resident Repayment Program.
