A2Z Personnel helps hungry kids with donation

February 21, 2023 by Editor

A2Z donates to Stevensville School. Pictured, l to r: Liz Cook (A2Z public relations and marketing), Katy Cardoza (HS Counselor – 9th/10th), Erika Asay (K-2nd School Counselor), Jerry Metesh (6th-8th School Counselor), Lee Starck (3rd-5th School Counselor), Jaime Devlin (A2Z owner).

A2Z Personnel has donated $5000 to Stevensville Schools to help fund the Kids Backpack Program and the Pantry Program. Through the Kids Backpack Program, backpacks full of food are sent home with elementary children to make sure they have enough to eat on the weekends. Through the Pantry Program, middle schoolers can choose food items to augment their daily food intake. 

A2Z Personnel raised the money through an on-line auction of decorated Christmas trees and other holiday gifts donated by local businesses. Participating businesses decorated trees that were voted on by the public and then auctioned off. 

Every year, A2Z Personnel identifies community needs and then raises money to address those needs. The business works in partnership with Project 59870, a Stevensville non-profit group that helps coordinate and facilitate worthy projects. Jaime Devlin, owner of A2Z, also sits on the board of Project 59870.

A2Z also gave $2000 to the Stevi Food Program, a start-up group headed by Fran Schmitz that collects and distributes food to children all summer long and also works in coordination with the school to hand out food during the school year.
