Bluegrass Corporate Cares Connection (BC3)

The American Trust Wealth team is eager to broaden their community involvement, but connecting with non-profits, aligning multiple schedules and other logistics can make the process difficult. That’s why our support of BC3 is so important to us. The BC3 site helps remove these barriers and allow us to schedule service hours with ease at the locations in our area that need it most. This allows us to spend more time helping and less time planning.

Lifeline Christian Mission

We had the opportunity to help package shelf stable, nutritious meals that were shipped to children and families who struggle with hunger and malnutrition.

It was amazing working alongside an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those in need!
