AmWINS recently embarked on a company-wide community service initiative, focusing on the challenges faced by AmWINS employees’ communities.

AmWINS has already been active in philanthropy, raising more than a quarter of a million dollars within the last year for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, but the company’s “Day of Service” (which will be an annual initiative) gave employees the chance to give back in smaller groups to the communities where they live and work.
