Community Service Programs
ASI encourages all employees to lend a helping hand to their local community. Some of the opportunities include contributing to United Way or Red Cross. ASI employees also participate in Blue Jean Day for Moss Rehab, the annual March of Dimes Walk America, a Boy Scouts Food Drive and Toys for Tots. ASI also matches any funds employees donate to United Way agencies.
ASI® and its Employees Honored for Generous Donations
In 2008, ASI employees donated a total of $7,538 to the fourth annual Adopt-A-Family fund, which benefits the American Red Cross Lower Bucks County Homeless Shelter. A total of 18 teams comprised of 342 employees participated in the annual toy drive, an increase of 64 employees over 2007, when $6,905 was raised. All told, 56 children received an average $135 worth of gifts during the holiday season.
In honor of Tim Andrews’ service, dedication and enthusiasm, the Lower Bucks County chapter of the American Red Cross saluted ASI’s president and CEO, and the staff of ASI, with a certificate of appreciation in December 2008. In addition to the toy drive, ASI employees have participated in the Red Cross Hero’s Breakfast and on-site blood drives.
“We value his service,” says Red Cross CEO Kendria McWilliams, who lauded the former Red Cross board member for encouraging volunteerism at the company. “The people here are very giving.”
“We’re eager to help,” said Andrews. “We love these programs and we love being involved. If the Red Cross had ASI’s level of engagement from 10 other companies, just think what we could accomplish.”
Previously, the American National Red Cross presented its prestigious Circle of Humanitarians award to Andrews and ASI, to recognize outstanding corporate philanthropy achievements. The award is given to donors by the American Red Cross to express appreciation for raising more than $50,000 in support of its many relief efforts around the U.S.
Several donation drives, spearheaded by Andrews and ASI, have raised over $400,000 for hurricanes and tsunami disaster relief efforts in recent years. Over $272,000 was collected for hurricane relief efforts in 2005 alone.
