The African Violet Foundation (AVF) has been serving and supporting middle and high school students and their families in Southeast Iowa for the past 13 years.

For the past several years, the foundation has also sponsored a community-wide clothing drive and distribution called Caring Through Clothing. It is a community-wide clothing drive and distribution. Gently used clothes, new underwear, new and gently used socks, shoes, winter apparel, blankets and laundry supplies are collected throughout the year and distributed at no cost once a year on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Monetary donations also are accepted as Caring Through Clothing funds a washer/dryer grant for families in need. The first clothing distribution was held in 2012.
