AFOI’s Milk and Cookies Children’s Program

Get a Consultation

By Elizabeth Franklin-Best, Esq., and Christopher Zoukis, JD, MBA

Perhaps the most effective measure of the MAC Program’s success is in statements made by those who have participated in it.

On AFOI’s website https://afoi.org/, under the heading “Why I like the Milk and Cookies Program…” statements from the child participants are provided. They read as follows:

  • It teaches me not to fight.
  • It helps me understand the deal with being a good friend.
  • It teaches me not to accept negative energy.
  • It teaches me Kwanzaa words.
  • It teaches me about things I should or should not say and to do what I should do.
  • It helps me how I can control my anger at school and at home.
  • I get taught new things.
  • It teaches me to be nice to people who are nice to you.
  • It teaches me to walk away from bad things.
  • It taught me how to get over my anger.
  • I get along and it makes me feel better about my father.
