Axalta’s Industrial Coatings team working together against hunger
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, chose this past holiday season as a wonderful
opportunity to give back to its Philadelphia hometown community. The
Axalta Industrial Coatings team came together to help combat hunger by
donating their time to its local hunger relief organization,
Philabundance. The Axalta team spent the day unloading, checking the
quality and sorting through thousands of charitable and nutritious
donations to the organization.
Philabundance was created in 1984 with the simple belief that no man,
woman or child should go hungry. Its growth and eventual integration
with the Philadelphia Food Bank in 2005 has led to it being the region’s
largest hunger relief organization. The organization implements both
emergency relief and long-term programs to strengthen and fulfill its
mission.
“Axalta will seek to maintain engagement with local organizations to
help us better understand our role in the community and support local
projects,” said Michael Cash, President of Axalta’s global Industrial
Coatings business. “By working together with the community, we can
establish a greater foundation on which to build a stronger company.
There is no quick fix to hunger relief, but we are pleased to help
contribute to the process. Commitment and dedication to a shared project
also makes us a better team.”
The Axalta Industrial team is excited to continue its group volunteering
efforts on a quarterly basis by furthering support to local
organizations that make nutritious food accessible to all.
