AIM hosted its annual Heart for Helping breakfast dedicated to highlighting the giving hearts of the community Thursday February 20, 2020 from 7:30am-9:00am at the Sadler Bereavement and Conference Center in Anderson. The presenting sponsor was Blue Water Carpet Care and a delicious hot breakfast was provided by Raines on Main.

AIM recognized three areas of service in Thursday morning's breakfast, a Volunteer of the Year, Business of the Year, and Church of the Year.

Also on Thursday morning, AIM unveiled its #AIMfor30 Campaign that celebrates the approaching 30th Anniversary of service to Anderson’s under-resourced community.
