HURON — American Trust Insurance (ATI) announced that the company will celebrate the holiday season by launching an “All Together In-giving” campaign for the second consecutive year.
This pay-it-forward campaign will give $100 to each ATI employee to present to one person, a family, group or cause in need this holiday season. The mission of the “All Together In-giving” campaign is to spread kindness, support families, strengthen the communities and share with individuals and families in need in the communities in which ATI serves.
“We are incredibly grateful to our employees and our communities and want to give back in a significant, intentional way,” said Preston Steele, Owner/President of American Trust Insurance. “We feel that we can truly make a difference this holiday season by inspiring our ATI team to individually determine the beneficiary of his/her “All Together In-giving” dollars and present their choice with a monetary donation.”
Team members at American Trust Insurance, located at 1820 Dakota Avenue South, Huron, presented their “All Together In-giving” funds to several organizations and projects in the Huron and Wolsey communities including:
• Operation Toys
• Santa for A Senior-Ride tokens in conjunction with People’s Transit
• Jan Manolis Family Safe Center
As an organization deeply rooted in its relationships with local customers and businesses and embodying its core value of ‘commitment to communities’, ATI decided to make a decisive effort to give back and make an impact locally.
At the local presentations of the “All Together In-giving” funds, sentiments of gratitude were shared with the ATI team.
“We truly appreciate the local support and the assistance in providing seniors with safe transportation,” Said Debbie Smith, Santa for Seniors Task Force.
“This is a special year with everything going on and we are continued to be blessed with the opportunity to provide families the experience of shopping and giving toys and items that they wouldn’t be able to without ‘Operation Toys’, said Angela Waldner, Chairman of Operations Toys.
“This has been a special year as we can’t have fundraisers and it has been tight. But this community makes it all possible,” said Jan Manolis, Executive Director of the Jan Manolis Family Safe Center. “Your giving a is a beautiful thing and it will allow us to expand our program to reach more families and children. Thank you!”
With 41 employees, over $4,100 will be presented from December 14-December 30 to a very broad scope of recipients across South Dakota.
American Trust Insurance is South Dakota owned with locations in Watertown, Huron, Pierre, Sioux Falls, Mellette, De Smet and Miller offering all lines of insurance coverage.
