2018 AT&T Alaska Holiday Family
The AT&T Alaska Pioneers Chapter sponsored a Salvation Holiday family of five during the holiday season. The family had a wonderful Christmas because of all the monetary and gift donations that were made by the AT&T Alaska Pioneer members and employees.
2018 Thanksgiving Holiday Food Drive
The AT&T Alaska Pioneers Chapter held a “Thanksgiving Holiday Food Drive” in coordination with the Alaska Chapter of the Women of AT&T. The drive resulted in a donation of 169 lbs. of food that was donated to the Food Bank of Alaska for their annual “Thanksgiving Blessing”, where these food items were distributed to those in need in the community.
Chapter members in Fairbanks also held a Thanksgiving food drive. These donations went to the local organization, Love in the Name of Christ.
2018 Warm Clothing Drives
The AT&T Alaska Pioneer’s first community service project for 2018 was to donate winter hats, gloves and socks to the local Brother Francis Shelter in Anchorage. Pictured are Donna Judkins, Anna Palmer and Wanda Wilson delivering the items to the shelter.
In Fairbanks, Linda Schleppegrell, Jerry Cates and Mike McLean, delivered a box filled with gloves, socks, hats and face masks to the Fairbanks Resource Mission on January 22nd. The Mission’s staff met them in the reception area along with other employees, volunteers and residents. They expressed how much the items were needed and they were so excited to receive the items just in time for the cold January weather.
2018 Fairbanks Clean Up Day
The AT&T Alaska Pioneers in Fairbanks participated in the annual City Wide Cleanup on May 3rd. The team consisted of Mike McLean, Jerry Cates, Brandon Cates, Landon Hawk, Jerry Conlon, Linda Schleppegrell & Amy McCullough who suited up in their reflective AT&T vests, waders and went to work picking up trash along both sides of the Steese Expressway, Airport Road to Gaffney Road and the back of the AT&T facility. The snow had recently melted leaving a lot of garbage accumulation from our long 8 months of winter. It was a 4 hour event, and was as always, a fulfilling experience for all especially afterwards when we drive our route and see the difference that we made. The public appreciates it as well, showing their favor by honking and giving us the Thumbs Up!
2018 Anchorage Clean Up Day
The AT&T Pioneers Alaska Chapter in Anchorage sponsored the “Government Hill Clean-up Day” on May 5th in conjunction with the 2018 Anchorage Citywide Cleanup Week. The team of thirteen spent the morning cleaning up the neighborhood surrounding our AT&T Alaska Anchorage campus in an effort to make Government Hill a cleaner place to live, play and work! This event is held every year and is well supported by the Pioneer members and employees!
