During the winter of 2015, the ACFC held its first “Winter Break” camp for over 30 low-income and homeless children. In spring 2016, ACFC followed up with its second “Spring Break,” where nearly 40 youth participated.

​

That same year, ACFC also hosted and supported programs offered to 50 youth, ages 5 through 16, by organizations like Lutheran Social Services (Camp Noah) and SMART Chicago-Youth Led Tech.

​

In September 2016, the ACFC held its first after-school program. Despite a lack of resources and challenges during its inception, the help of a dedicated Recreational/Operations Director and the support of a small board of directors made the after-school program a success in a fun, safe, and violence-free environment.

​

Since then, the ACFC has conducted community basketball tournaments (funded by the Chicago Community Trust) and other youth and adult-related events.
