Throughout 2021, the staff and leadership of Alpine Business Systems chose a local charitable non-profit agency as “Hero of the Month,” presenting that organization with monetary support and essential supplies to help sustain their efforts.

“The pandemic was particularly hard on the non-profit community,” commented Bill Blum, President of Alpine Business Systems. “The impact on the operations of the non-profit agencies coupled with the dramatic increase in the needs of the clients made 2021 a very difficult year to deliver services and raise the funds to advance the mission. We knew that as an organization, we had to take action, pool resources, and contribute.”

Alpine closed out the year with presentation of a check in the amount of $500 to the Thomas Kavanaugh VFW in Manville on Pearl Harbor Day. Prior to Christmas, Alpine chose Toys for Tots as Hero of the Month and donated $600 worth of toys contributed by clients and $400 worth of toys contributed by Alpine employees.
