MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Members, supporters, and honorees of Agape Child and Family Services came out to celebrate the "FIT Program's" 20th anniversary Thursday. "FIT" stands for families in transition.
Leaders took time to recognize the 10 people who were instrumental in starting this program at the site of the first six family homes in north Memphis.
"We have been in various communities throughout the city with our domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking prevention, intervention, and awareness,” said Ceaira Brunson, director, Agape FIT Program. “So, this is a big deal for our agency as we continue to walk humbly and walk alongside the families within the city of Memphis to end homelessness and being able to assist those who are fleeing domestic violence."
The FIT program serves more than 100 families in apartment communities through Whitehaven, Hickory Hill, and Frayser.
