Amyx Continues to Support Our Local Communities

Amyx is a company that believes in giving back to our local communities and one of our corporate quality objectives is to advance the well-being of the communities in which we work and live through contributions of time, financial, and mentoring support.   We encourage all of our employees to participate in not only corporate sponsored functions but in their individual contributions to their communities as well. 

During the year Amyx supported our local NVA/DC communities by delivering turkeys and hams to the DC Central Kitchen and the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter.  Also as part of our Holiday outreach we adopted two families through New Hope Housing and our employees generously donated clothes, toys, personal care items and gift cards to ensure that each family had a wonderful Christmas morning.  Earlier in the year one of our local project teams spent the day working outside at the Carpenter's Shelter and once again as part of our summer picnic we packed and sent boxes of food, toiletries and miscellaneous items to service people serving overseas.  Our Amyx employees and families donated items to fill the boxes and Amyx donated items as well as the postage to get the boxes into the hands of the soldiers.

This gift of sharing and giving back to our local communities happened as well across our project sites - in St Louis, MO/O'Fallion, IL our local staff delivered turkeys to the Moose Lodge and Veterans of Foreign Wars as well as once again participating in the Bikers for Babies event supporting the March of Dimes, our Boyers, PA team reached out to help a local Childrens Hospital, and Seaside, CA as they continued to support the local Veterans Transition Center.

We are proud of each and every one of our employees who donate their time and support for those that might need a helping hand in their local communities.

Amyx Supports Our Local Communities Throughout the Year

Amyx is a company that believes in giving back to our local communities and one of our corporate quality objectives is to advance the well-being of the communities in which we work and live through contributions of time, financial, and mentoring support.   We encourage all of our employees to participate in not only corporate sponsored functions but in their individual contributions to their communities as well. 

During the summer Amyx Capitol Area employees reached out to local service people who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.  As a part of our annual summer picnic, we packed and sent 36 boxes of food, toiletries and miscellaneous items to service people serving overseas.  Amyx families donated items to fill the boxes and Amyx donated items as well as the postage to get the boxes into the hands of the soldiers.

Also reaching out across the country were our project teams - our Amyx St Louis team supported the March of Dimes Bikers for Babies event that promotes and supports the March of Dimes, while educating family and friends about the seriousness of premature birth, birth defects and other threats to their health.

During the holiday season, Amyx delivered turkeys, hams and non-perishable goods to local DC and Northern Virginia organizations. These donations were delivered to So Others Might Eat (SOME), DC Central Kitchen and the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter.  Also as part of our Holiday giving our employees generously donated clothes, toys, personal care items and gift cards in support of the New Hope Housing Gift Store, which allows shelter residents to shop free of charge for their families for the holidays.

This gift of sharing and giving back to our local communities happened as well across our project sites - in Philadelphia, PA our local staff delivered turkeys to City Ministries, in St Louis, MO our local staff delivered turkeys to the Moose Lodge and Veterans of Foreign Wars, in Battle Creek, MI  our local staff delivered turkeys and hams to the Lifespan Good Samaritan Hospice,  and reaching all the way out to Seaside, CA as one of our newest sites contacted the local Veterans Center who requested 50 pairs of warm socks and our team delivered them the next day and then followed up with their original concept of Baking for Veterans where the team baked cookies and delivered them so they could be served as part of the Veterans holiday meal. 

We are proud of each and every one of our employees who donate their time and support for those that might need a helping hand.

A big THANK YOU to our Northern Virginia employees who volunteered their time on Saturday, April 25th with Rebuilding Together Alexandria at Community Lodgings, a transitional facility whose mission is to lift disadvantaged families from homeless and instability to independence and self-sufficiency through their transitional and affordable housing programs. Thanks to all our volunteers who worked hard and made a difference!

Another big THANK YOU goes out to our St Louis, MO employees who volunteered their time on Saturday, July 18th with Habitat for Humanity. Our team worked all day putting up sliding on a house for a family with 5 kids - a great way to spend the day and make a difference. Thanks to all our volunteers!

During Thanksgiving week Amyx delivered over 400 pounds of turkey, hams and non-perishable goods to local DC and Northern Virginia organizations. These donations were delivered to So Others Might Eat (SOME), DC Central Kitchen and the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter.  This gift of sharing and giving back to our local communities happened as well in Battle Creek. MI as our local staff delivered turkeys and hams to Inasmuch House (part of the Haven of Rest organization) and the S.A.F.E. House.  And staying with our tradition of giving, St Louis will be reaching out to support a holiday food drive in their area in December.

This holiday season as part of our Gift of Giving for the Holidays, employees brought new unwrapped toys and clothing to our employee appreciation event which gave us a wonderful opportunity to lend a helping hand to families in the area by helping to stock the gift store at New Hope Housing where residents can shop free of charge for their families to make the holidays a little brighter.  The Amyx giving spirit continued in Battle Creek where employees adopted families as part of the Salvation Army Adopt a Family Program and again in St Louis as employees supported military families at Scott Air Force Base.
