In honor of ALKU turning 15, ALKU and the ALKU Foundation will be continuing their mission to give back to the community by making 15 generous donations to non-profits that our employees are passionate about.
Animal Rescue League, Friends of the Fells, and Hospitality House of Charlotte are three popular VTO sites for the ALKrew. Each of these non-profits takes on the hypothetical role of a caretaker.
