ACTS Retirement-Life Communities Team Up to Help the Needy
ACTS FL Region & Home Health
Corporate PA Emloyees WEST POINT, PA -- Nearly 15,000 seniors and employees from 23 ACTS Retirement-Life Communities recently came together to help neighbors in need. More than 18 tons of food and used clothing was distributed to 20 different outreach sites in eight states. In total, 36,005 pounds of food and clothing were collected over a seven day period to help meet the needs of local shelters which have experienced significant donation declines.
Collection boxes were set up at ACTS community locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida as part of the company’s commitment to serving the greater community in the spirit of loving-kindness. Some gave truckloads full of clothing and food, while others donated money. This is the company's fourth annual drive.
ACTS Retirement-Life Communities owns and manages 23 active lifestyle continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). ACTS is a faith-based, not-for-profit corporation with a mission of serving the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of seniors. www.ACTSretirement.org
