In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a service project was held at Fort Washington Estates! Residents and the youth group from Carmel Presbyterian Church came together to make snack bags for the after‑school program at Face to Face Germantown. 🍎💛

Over 350 bags were packed, and afterward everyone enjoyed hot chocolate, cookies, and a friendly game of volleyball! 🏐☕🍪✨

After nearly four incredible decades of service, Acts has announced an important leadership update.

CEO Gerald T. Grant has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire at the end of 2026. He will continue to serve as CEO through the conclusion of his term, maintaining full responsibility for Acts' operations and strategic direction during this planned transition.

The Board has initiated a succession process as part of its comprehensive leadership planning, with a full-year transition timeline designed to ensure continuity and long-term success.

We are deeply grateful for Mr. Grant's nearly 40 years of leadership and impact, and remain fully committed to our mission, our residents, and our stakeholders.

✨ The 2025 Acts Chaplains' Conference (Sept. 22–25) was a remarkable gathering that brought together all Acts Chaplains at the Corporate Services Center. 🙌
