Aflac awarded a $10,000 grant to the Mental Illness Recovery Center, Inc. (MIRCI) to support programs assisting homeless youth in Columbia.

By creating safe, age-appropriate, youth-specific, trauma-informed spaces, MIRCI provides a nurturing environment where youth learn to heal, grow and thrive.This project was supported by a grant from Aflac, housed at Central Carolina Community Foundation.
“We are thankful for the support of Aflac as we work to assist our community’s most vulnerable population. We look forward to continuing our work in the community, as we have seen great successes and achievements by those we serve.” said MIRCI’s Executive Director, Julie Ann Avin.
