2013 Buckets of Love Are Delivered

.

Great things happen because of A&K’s Buckets of Love.
This year we assembled and delivered 110 buckets full of school supplies that help school children to succeed.

Our 4th Annual ‘Buckets of Love’ campaign distributes school supplies to local schools and Classroom Central to assist local elementary school students living in poverty. We work to support the mission of Classroom Central.  Our Buckets of Love campaign collects donations to supplement A&K Painting Company’s donation. Buckets of Love provides direct support to students at several elementary schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, Rock Hill School District, Gaston School District and Lancaster County School District.

For a period of two months, July 1st to August 30th, we solicited donations and support from customers, vendors and other industry associates and friends to supplement A&K Painting’s donation. School supplies were purchased and some were donated. Buckets of Love labels were placed on five gallon buckets provided by our vendors and then 110 buckets were filled with supplies.  Classroom Central already received our delivery of buckets and today we completed delivery to the local schools.
