Anglin ‘Serve Day’ Connects Employees with Non-profits in Huntsville and Pensacola, Fla.

Anglin hosted a ‘Serve Day’ to connect employees with local non-profits. Employees completed a variety of service projects in COVID-friendly ways to support the community in Huntsville and Pensacola, Florida.

House of Harvest Canned Food Drive

Employees collected canned food items November 1 – November 13 to benefit Food Bank of North Alabama. On November 13, ‘Serve Day’, a group of employees delivered the boxes of canned food items to this local non-profit.

Water Bottles for Local Title 1 School

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, water fountains are off-limits at schools. Children are asked to bring reusable water bottles and refill them at fill stations throughout the school. Not all of the students at MLK Elementary School had reusable water bottles, so Anglin employees wanted to help them fill this need. On ‘Serve Day’, Anglin employees delivered reusable water bottles to the children at this elementary school.

“Anglin employees who volunteered their time and services during our annual ‘Serve Day’ showed their commitment to our local communities. It’s encouraging to see our Anglin team coming together to support the greater good during this uncertain time,” says Gary Anglin, Managing Partner.
