Ahead of the ACC Football Championship, we had the incredible opportunity to team up with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Food Lion for a volunteer day at Second Harvest Food Bank. Our amazing teams came together and packed nearly 900 food boxes! It was a fantastic way to unite for a great cause, helping our community and building camaraderie before the game. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made a difference. #DoItRight
To celebrate Giving Back Month, we teamed up with Share Charlotte and Share Detroit to bring together 20 local nonprofits to our headquarters so Ally teammates could connect with and support various local nonprofit partners. In Charlotte, teammates were able to volunteer onsite by making holiday cards for patients at Levine Children's Hospital. Great events like these not only foster community engagement but also highlight the impact that each one of us can make by giving our time, talents and resources. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success!

We recently hosted a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration that infused cultural flavor at the Spirit of Detroit Plaza. Hundreds of attendees explored art from Metro Detroit’s Latino community, danced to Latin American music and showcased their soccer skills at the Detroit City FC’s inflatable kick game. It was a cultural extravaganza to remember!
Our third year as platinum sponsor for the ALPFA Inc - Association of Latino Professionals For America convention! Some of our Aliados Employee Resource Group (ERG) teammates headed to Las Vegas for the convention, where we talked with hundreds of potential interns and applicants, held workshops, sponsored ALPFA student scholarships and received recognition for our involvement with the local Michigan ALPFA chapter. The Ally team was energized and more engaged than ever with the professional Latino community that ALPFA represents.
