Pa., June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
American Crane & Equipment Corporation proudly joined the
United Way of Berks County on
June 14, 2024, for their Annual Big
Cheese meal packaging event, the largest United Way-driven meal
packaging event in the country. This year's event saw over 500
volunteers come together to pack an impressive 250,000 meals.
"This feeling of community increases their
motivation at work and can lead to greater community involvement.
Even a small contribution can make a big difference." -
Stephanie Delibertis
American Crane's Outreach Committee, Hoist Up!, organized for
their employees to volunteer their Friday night to pack nutritious
mac and cheese and apple cinnamon oatmeal meals for local families
experiencing food insecurity. Clad in yellow shirts and hairnets,
these volunteers worked diligently alongside other community
members, all driven by a shared commitment to alleviate hunger in
their community.
With the help of Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank, a local
organization dedicated to feeding the hungry, these meals are set
to be distributed to local children through the Weekender Program,
as well as to food pantries throughout Berks County. The Reading School District will also receive a
portion of the meals, which will be distributed to children
throughout the school year.
The mission of American Crane's Hoist Up! Outreach initiative is
to support philanthropy, boost employee engagement and increase
morale. They believe bringing employees together to participate in
team volunteer activities encourages everyone to see themselves as
part of the greater community.
"This feeling of community increases their motivation at work
and can lead to greater community involvement. Even a small
contribution can make a big difference." Stephanie Delibertis, American Crane's Owner
& Executive Director of Outreach and Development, says.
This year's Big Cheese event underscores the power of community
collaboration and the impact of volunteers. American Crane remains
committed to supporting initiatives that enhance the well-being of
local organizations and strengthening community ties.
