Three metro women decided that they were tired of hearing about bad news all the time, so they took matters into their own hand. They decided that every time they heard about someone doing a good dead, they would reward them with a good meal. But when A.B. May was offered the free catered lunch, our employees asked to donate the meal to people more in need.
Rebuilding Phoenix, Louisiana – Another area that was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of Hurricane Rita was a small town of 300 people 25 miles South of New Orleans named Phoenix, Louisiana. The area was under water as deep as 10 feet for over a month. Many of the families have lived in this community for several generations, dating back before the Civil War. The buildings in the town were destroyed, but the people are strong and resolute to rebuild. A.B. May and its employees continue to make frequent trips to Phoenix to help in the reconstruction.
Youthfront Camp South – LaCyne, KS - Since 1943 YouthFront has engaged in innovative youth ministry, ministering to millions of young people. A.B.

After the work was finished, some of the families spent time enjoying the camp facilities.
Heat The Country - Working with Christmas in October and ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) A.B. May and its employees donated manpower and supplies to elderly and financially strapped homeowners in Kansas City. The primary focus of the Heat The Country project is safety and warmth, as well as improving the living conditions of the residents. Twelve A.B. May representatives gave up their day off to volunteer their skills to this worthy project. A.B. May donated the materials. Services provided ranged from furnace clean-and-checks to, in some cases, complete replacements. On a Saturday in October, we installed five high efficiency furnaces. (Oct 2006)
