HOUSTON, TX — This week, American National Insurance Company partnered with the 9/11 Day organization to package thousands of meals earmarked for local food banks in support of the 9/11 National Day of Service. American National employees volunteered their time at events held at the company’s Albany, NY, and Springfield, MO, offices. Houston area employees joined hundreds of other volunteers at NRG Stadium to pack more than 300,000 meals for people experiencing food insecurity.
“Volunteerism has always been an important part of our culture at American National. We’re proud of that and of our employees who, time and again, step up to serve the communities we call home,” said CC Pardo, SVP & Chief Human Resources Officer, American National.
9/11 Day has helped transform September 11th into the largest day of service in America. In cities across the country, 9/11 Day organizes large-scale volunteer projects to assemble nutritious meals for Americans at risk of hunger.
“Partnering with 9/11 Day gave us an opportunity to remember the fallen and honor the heroes from that tragic day by coming together in service of those who need assistance,” Pardo said. “We were honored to support and participate in this great effort to turn the anniversary of one of our nation’s darkest moments into a day of doing good.”
