At the heart of our mission is a desire to serve others - and that extends beyond our customers to our community as well. We are a company that truly cares, and our school supply drive proves that #AlfaCares about education.
Every year, there are students who come to school with an unfulfilled school supply list because their family can’t afford them. How can they learn without the basic supplies needed? They can’t. To lessen the budgetary burden for parents and teachers alike, we started a summer back-to-school drive to ensure one school in the area, selected by a social media contest, would be stocked before the sound of the first bell.
