The mission of the nonprofit is to provide a summer academic camp experience to children that reside in the inner city and public housing. Apple Ridge Farm is celebrating their 25th year of Summer Academic Camp and has served over 70,000 children in camp and after school programs.
“I want Mr. Patton, the AEP Foundation and Mr. Jones to know how much this generous donation means to Apple Ridge Farm and the children we work so hard to serve. Their contribution not only helps provide camp scholarships, but also will enhance and change lives. We thank you.” To learn more of Apple Ridge Farm’s mission please visit www.appleridge.org
