AVE’S HOLIDAY SPIRIT OF GIVING

Every holiday season, AVE hosts charity drives at our communities to support local food banks and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
 
For the last four years, we partnered with Move For Hunger on a Thanksgiving Food Drive. Throughout the month, our team members, residents, and friends donated unopened, non-perishable food items to help families in our communities celebrate Thanksgiving. Over 1,200 pounds of food were transported to food pantries in New Jersey, the Greater Philadelphia Area, and the East Bay Area of San Francisco, which will provide 1000 meals in our neighborhoods. 
 
In December, we kicked off our annual toy donation drive to benefit Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Our communities collected 350 toys to make the holidays brighter for kids in our communities. AVE King of Prussia also hosted a Holiday Party for its residents complete with holiday treats, pop-up shops, and a special appereance from Santa, collecting 45 toys to donate to its neighbor Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. 
 
“It gives our team members such joy to give back to our communities during the holiday season,” says Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and president of AVE. “We have been doing these drives for a decade, and it’s exciting to see how much the generosity has grown every year.”
