Assisting Families of Inmates is a brand dedicated to supporting and assisting families affected by incarceration in Richmond, Virginia. With a mission to connect and strengthen bonds between families and their incarcerated loved ones, Assisting Families of Inmates (AFOI) has been providing meaningful visitation, family assistance, and children's programs since 1978. Their services include transportation to correctional facilities, facilitating video visits, and running the MAC program for children.

AFOI has already made a significant impact, with over 26,000 Virginia families benefiting from their support, 9 correctional facilities served, 18,000 video visits facilitated monthly, and 100 children enrolled in the MAC program each week. Visits play a crucial role in relieving worry, encouraging parent-child bonding, and strengthening lifelong commitments. Moreover, studies have shown that regular visits positively influence the behavior of incarcerated individuals and increase their chances of success post-release, thus enhancing public safety.

To further their cause, AFOI relies on donations, which enable them to provide life-changing programming. Join them today by donating or exploring other ways to get involved and make a difference in the lives of families impacted by incarceration
