AvL Donation for WNC Wildfire Firefighters

AvL and it's employees raised $735 to assist the many, many firefighters in Western North Carolina fighting numerous wildfires. With the funds raised, AvL purchased and donated essential items such as non-perishable food, socks, bandanas, wipes, gloves and toiletries for the firefighters. Many thanks to the AvL employees who donated, and to Ken Austin and Rick Rea for organizing the effort.

YMCA and AvL Send Candy to Deployed Troops

The YMCA collected over 160lbs (and saved members from consuming many thousands of calories) of leftover halloween candy. Bins were placed at the Downtown Asheville Y and Woodfin Community Y to encourage members to pass their sweets on to deployed US troops around the world through Operation Gratitude which sends over 200,000 care packages annually.  AvL Technologies provided boxing and shipping services for the project.
