Avion Takes Action, the employee-led giving fund of Avion Solutions, recently awarded $15,000 to three non-profit organizations, including: ENABLE Madison County, New Futures, and The Caring Link.
ENABLE provides services that allow the aging and homebound to live independently, safely, and with dignity. The $5,000 grant will support purchasing and installing safety equipment in client homes, such as grab bars, handrails, and other durable medical equipment.
New Futures is a family homeless shelter that helps to keep families together during times of homelessness and assists families in moving back into stable, independent living. The $5,000 grant will allow New Futures to build a six-foot privacy fence around their yard to promote security and privacy for the children to play safely.
The Caring Link supports students in need throughout Madison County by establishing on-site Care Closets in area schools. These closets provide clothing, shoes, toiletries, school supplies, and food to children who lack the necessary resources, allowing them to focus on learning. The $5,000 grant will establish a new on-site Care Closet at Hazel Green Elementary School, where over 56% of the student population lives at or below the poverty line. This closet will serve 700+ students in Pre-K to 5th grade.
Funded entirely by employee contributions, Avion Takes Action supports non-profit organizations in the local communities of Avion’s employee owners. The fund accepts grant applications on a rolling basis throughout the year and makes awards each quarter.
