The Armenian Children's Milk Fund (ACMF) was created to fill one specific, vital nutritional need -- to provide baby formula to children in Armenia. The ACMF was established in 1989 by volunteers in the greater Boston area primarily because of the devastating earthquake of 1988. Thus, the mission of ACMF is to raise money and obtain donations of baby formula for children in Armenia. Amost two decades have passed, yet Armenia has not fully recovered economically and the need is still great.

Since 1989, ACMF’s sustaining nutritional program has given thousands of Armenian children a healthy start in life.

ACMF’s accomplishments were made possible by the hard work of its volunteers. This diverse group of caring individuals has:

• Organized dozens of fundraisers;
  Coordinated the purchase and shipment of soy
  based formula, Pedialyte and dry powdered milk to
  Armenia and Karabagh;
  
• Worked with local health officials in Armenia
  and Karabagh to identify needy families; and
  
• Created a system for distribution of
  infant formula to eligible children in six cities in
  Armenia and Karabagh.
  

The little child pictured is just one of thousands of needy children who have received assistance from ACMF. Children who would otherwise not receive proper nutrition, and whose families cannot afford to buy formula, are referred to ACMF by their pediatricians. Every month, ACMF feeds 600 children. ACMF’s mission has been constant over the years: To give children a healthy start in life.

ACMF is making a difference. But we need your help to continue.

At this time of the year, Americans gather to give thanks for our good health and good fortune. We celebrate by gathering with our loved ones to share a traditional meal and express our gratitude. In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, the Armenian Children's Milk Fund asks that you remember the less fortunate, the children who benefit from the Milk Fund.

The Armenian Children's Milk Fund has given thousands of Armenian infants a healthy start in life. The volunteers of the Armenian Children's Milk Fund are thankful for you, our supporters, who make this program possible.
