AACF Provides Financial and Emotional Support to Automotive Aftermarket Workers

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated exclusively to the automotive aftermarket since 1959, provides fast financial assistance and emotional support to aftermarket employees and their families facing illness, injury, natural disasters, financial hardship, and mental health challenges.

The organization processes most grant applications within days through a quick online application, with direct-deposit funding ensuring rapid disbursement. AACF assistance covers rent, medical bills, food, equipment, and temporary housing, helping aftermarket families maintain stability during crises.

Beyond immediate financial relief, AACF emphasizes mental health support alongside physical recovery. The foundation recognizes that the emotional toll during crises requires dedicated assistance, providing peace of mind that support exists during life's most difficult moments.

One recent recipient noted the impact: "Assisting with relief while me and my family are looking at a list of totally unexpected, but necessary purchases of equipment is a huge help. Being able to keep my focus on recovery and not stress about getting the appropriate wheelchair and how to fund it is a big impact in my return home and continued recovery."

AACF describes its mission as "Support Beyond Certification"—recognizing that while technical skills define a career, comprehensive support sustains workers through hardship.
