All together, associates from 87 facilities across Averitt's system donated their time to clothing, food, toy, and blood drives. This annual event began in 2011 as a way to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary. Each year since, all of the facilities across its network have been encouraged to donate 40 hours of service to various charitable causes between October and December.
