Irvine-based property
management company helps shoulder the weight of back-to-school
preparation with annual employee-driven initiative.
IRVINE,
Calif., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Demonstrating an ongoing commitment to supporting its local
communities, Advanced Management Company (AMC) successfully
held its annual Backpack Drive this week. The employee-driven event
will see the distribution of 395 new backpacks, each filled with
essential school supplies, to youth across AMC communities in
Southern California.
"Our Backpack Drive is one of my favorite
volunteer efforts of the year, and it remains a cornerstone of
AMC's community outreach initiatives," said AMC President
Danielle McCarthy.
The success of the Backpack Drive underscores the importance of
community support and corporate responsibility. By rallying
together, team members at AMC and its partner construction
division, R³ Construction Services, Inc., make a tangible
difference in the lives of young students, paving the way for a
brighter and more equitable future.
"Our Backpack Drive is one of my favorite volunteer efforts of
the year, and it remains a cornerstone of AMC's community outreach
initiatives," said AMC President Danielle
McCarthy. "For many families, purchasing school supplies can
be a financial burden. Initiatives like this relieve this pressure,
allowing parents to allocate their limited resources to other
essential needs. By providing these backpacks, AMC aims to ensure
that every child possible within our communities starts the school
year equipped with the necessary tools to succeed
academically."
This marks the 11th annual year of the drive, which started as a
program for one specific property before expanding throughout the
Irvine-based property management
company's portfolio in 2021. The backpacks and school supplies are
donated by industry partners and bolstered by donations from team
members into AMC's Charitable Giving Fund, which is used to help
subsidize multiple charity efforts throughout the year.
All the backpacks were stuffed with school supplies at the
company's warehouse by volunteer team members. The backpacks will
be distributed this week to individual community directors for
delivery to their intended recipients at their apartment homes. The
process begins each year when community directors identify and
nominate individuals from their communities.
"It's a beautiful thing to see a child's eyes light up when they
receive the backpack their community director has hand-picked out
for them," said Katie Tanner, AMC's
People Potential Ambassador. "The parents are always so
appreciative, and we love knowing that we made going back to school
an easier process for families in our communities. It's always a
joy to watch their genuine happiness unfold."
AMC and R³ give back to their communities in myriad ways
throughout the year, including efforts to provide full Thanksgiving
dinners and holiday gifts for families in need and providing
assistance to team members through the Charitable Giving Fund. For
example, AMC team members also participated in this month's CHOC
Walk at Disneyland, raising money for children's health and
well-being.
"The annual school drive is one way our team members show their
deep-seated dedication to the families in their communities," said
McCarthy. "Creating a family atmosphere in our company and at our
properties remains one of our highest priorities."
