“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta Scott King

Amid this ongoing pandemic, daily lives have been altered. The sudden change in the regular rhythm of school, work, and home life required many people to leave their typical roles as students or employees and take on new full-time responsibilities such as a caregiver, or teacher. Institutions that once provided a nutrient-rich hot meal were required to close, leaving families questioning where their next meal would be.

APM’s Good Neighbor Project partnered with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce’s Operation: Stock the Shelves to ensure our neighborhood pantries stay stocked to help keep bellies full.

The week-long collection effort was a smashing success and our employees donated nearly $175 worth of food. As APM promised, we have matched the donations in full. Collectively, we have contributed close to $350 in food items!

APM along with the Pasadena Chamber were able replenish the pantry shelves of Sarah’s House and Sunset United Methodist, both located in Pasadena, Texas.

We are incredibly proud of our APM team that have taken the time to provide help to keep the neighbors in our community strong. You have made the effort to relieve and restore confidence in families. The discomfort of change in our sense of normalcy diminishes when we rise together.

We look forward to our continued partnership with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce to provide aid to our local organizations!
