The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) is ready to take action as Hurricane Idalia continues its path towards the Florida coastline, according to a press release.

The foundation is preparing to aid automotive aftermarket families that may be impacted by the looming Category 1 hurricane by providing assistance, support, and resources.

"Although AACF doesn't claim to be a disaster relief service, we will do our best to identify and assist those industry families that have immediate needs in keeping with our mission to support aftermarket families facing catastrophic circumstances," said Joel Ayres, executive director of AACF, in the press release. “We acknowledge the uncertainty of the situation and express our gratitude for the industry's support by sharing our message with its employees and team members.”

The foundation said it will provide updates on this initiative as they become available.
