JEFFERSON â Continuing a strong tradition of an annual Ashe County charity program, American Emergency Vehicles offers a benevolence fund giving employees opportunity to invest into their community.
Employees have the choice for a portion of their weekly pay to be added to a charitable fund that is matched dollar for dollar by AEV at the end of the year.
Throughout the year local charities submit letters explaining how they assist the community. This information is shared with participating employees who then vote to direct how money is distributed.
Funds presented have increased each year and 2020 has been no exception, as monies distributed total $56,959.
