As supporters of many local chapters on elderly affairs, patient care groups, educational studies, and resource networks, our company remains dedicated to giving back to our community. We not only support these non-profit organizations, we offer programs like Pay It Forward to help individuals, help others.

As longstanding business owners of our community, we feel we have a responsibility to help those that are less fortunate and contribute to the common good. It is a longstanding practice for our company to contribute our time, our resources and our services to these non-profit charitable organizations.

If you need help or are looking for great non-profit organization to get involved with in your community, here are just a few in the Fort Lauderdale, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Volunteer groups and non-profit organizations are a vital part of our community.

In order to continue to provide help to those in need, they can’t do it alone. They need your help
