Two important elements of American's mission and vision are
to "serve and support the community" as well as our "dedication
to community partnership". Nowhere is this more evident than
in the support American and its employees give to the United
Way. In addition to the various volunteer roles that American
employees assume, from board members to volunteer fire fighters,
American also supports numerous charitable and community organizations.
