Help AFAC win $50,000!

Many of you know that Restoration has partnered with the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) in various ways over the past year.  Restoration volunteers have cleaned floors, carried crates, bagged food, and helped with other projects.  Now AFAC has another way that we can help — and all that’s required are a couple of minutes and your Facebook account!

One of AFAC’s sister non-profits, the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN), is in the running for a $1 million grand prize as part of a Chase Bank community giving initiative.  In exchange for AFAC recruiting voters, A-SPAN will give $50,000 to AFAC if they win the grand prize.  Needless to say, it would be huge for these Arlington non-profits to win!

So log on, cast your vote, and ask all your FB friends to do the same!  The last day to vote is tomorrow: Friday, January 22! Read on for complete info & links:
