JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- (NASDAQ: ASRV) – It
costs nothing to be kind. That is the message AmeriServ Bank is
sharing as it kicks off the social media campaign, "Serving Up 30
Days of Kindness." The campaign, which runs throughout November on
the Facebook and Instagram social media platforms, encourages
followers to share a short story or photograph depicting a random
act of kindness.
For every random act of kindness shared, participants are
entered into a drawing for the chance to donate $1,000 to one of the following military service
charities – the Wounded Warrior Project, Toys for Tots, and K9s for
Warriors – and to win a $250 gift
card to a local grocery store of their choosing. The charities not
chosen will receive separate donations from AmeriServ Bank.
"It takes nothing to share an act of kindness and that is what
we want to people to be thinking about in the weeks leading up to
the holiday season. We never really know what is going on in
peoples' lives, but if we can put a smile on someone's face, make
them feel appreciated or even just acknowledged, we are paying
forward good things that make a difference," Susan Tomera Angeletti, AmeriServ senior vice
president – marketing and alternative delivery, explained.
She added, "We launched this campaign now because the timing is
right. It helps people focus on what is truly important while also
helping to recognize the organizations that assist our military
service members and provide items to help make children's holidays
brighter."
To participate in AmeriServ Serving Up 30 Days of Kindness,
users are encouraged to visit the AmeriServ Facebook page or post
to their personal Instagram page using the hashtag
#AmeriServUpKindness.
ABOUT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT –
Wounded Warrior
Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing
simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first
wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in
Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs
evolved, so have our programs and services. Today, through our
direct programs in mental health, career counseling,
and long-term rehabilitative care, along with
our advocacy efforts, we improve the lives of millions
of warriors and their families.

The Marine Toys for Tots
Foundation is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Marine
Toys for Tots. The Foundation provides the leadership, funding, and
support needed for successful annual toy collection and
distribution campaigns.
Local campaigns are conducted annually in over 800 communities
covering all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, and Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands. Local toy
collection campaigns begin in October and last until mid to late
December. Toy distribution also takes place mid to late
December. Members of the community drop new, unwrapped toys in
collection boxes positioned in local businesses. Coordinators pick
up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys
are sorted by age and gender. At Christmas, Coordinators, with the
assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and
other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the less
fortunate children of the community.
