The DeKalb-Sycamore community was rocked earlier this summer by a massive apartment fire that consumed an entire complex and displaced 120 people — for many of them causing a total loss of their worldly possessions.
The local Family Services Agency (FSA) organized a community donation drive for the displaced residents taking in several massive storage pods of items to help families rebuild. Moved by the tragedy, company HR Director Julyne Kenney reached out the FSA to find out how AMP employees could help. Several employees took advantage of the company’s newly created VPTO policy and instead of spending their day helping AMP sales people and customers they assisted the effort to catalog and distribute items for needy families.
