Archives

AML as a company and our staff team feel very fortunate. Individuals give back locally, nationally and internationally through volunteerism and charitable contributions. The company provides a paid Community Service Day annually to employees to use at their discretion to encourage them to give back.

Examples of Volunteerism (Click Below for Summaries and Photos):

A common response from the employees who participate in volunteer opportunities seems to be, “It felt like we actually got more out of the experience than we gave and I didn’t anticipate that. The people were so grateful. It was an experience I won’t forget and I am looking forward to another volunteer opportunity!”
