AIT Worldwide Logistics

This past December, AIT Worldwide Logistics teams from various Chicago-area offices put in 80 hours (nearly three and a half days!) volunteering with Feed My Starving Children - Schaumburg, one of the non-profit's permanent facilities in Illinois.

Together, they assembled and packed nutritious meals, providing essential support to communities in need around the world.

We extend our gratitude to all the participants for their time, energy, and unwavering dedication to making a difference.

Their collaboration with Feed My Starving Children is more than just a charitable endeavor; it's a testament to AIT’s core value of giving back to the communities where we live and work—all year round.

And a heartfelt thank you to Feed My Starving Children for the great work they do to provide nourishment for children in need all around the world.

In an inspiring display of solidarity and compassion, AIT Worldwide Logistics teams in the United Kingdom and Italy recently joined forces with Childhood Cancer International - Europe to support Ukrainian families facing the unimaginable challenge of cancer treatment amid displacement by war.

Together, the teams assembled and dispatched more than 200 care kits to these resilient families temporarily residing in Paris, Madrid and Valencia in Spain, and various cities in the Netherlands.

These kits are more than just parcels; they are a beacon of hope and comfort, containing essential items such as laundry pods, disinfecting wipes, and personal hygiene products, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and shower gel. Each kit also carried a personal touch—a hand-written note of encouragement from AIT teammates, reminding these families that they are not alone in their journey.

We are honored that our teammates chose to give back to the communities where they live and work by contributing to this vital cause and standing with others in their time of need. Together, we can make a difference.

As the global economy continues to shift, sourcing strategies and manufacturing operations are changing too, resulting in both supply chain benefits and challenges.

Kudos to the AIT Worldwide Logistics teammates who recently spent a Saturday giving back to their community by fishing plastic out of the city's famous canals. During their Feb. 25 cleanup outing with Plastic Whale, the team collected six bags of plastic waste, four bags of garbage and 14 pieces of glass. The plastic will be recycled into furniture and more boats for cleanup missions. Well done, team! https://hubs.ly/Q01Hbf6r0

Kudos to the AIT Worldwide Logistics teammates who got up before the sun on June 9 to cook breakfast for 30 guests of the local Ronald McDonald House. From 5:45 to 9 a.m., the crew of five prepared a spread including bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and fruit for the hungry families. A great example of how AIT Cares by volunteering in the communities where we live and work!

Kudos to our teams in Chicago and Dallas, and our friends at Electri-Flex Company, who came together to collect and deliver a literal truckload of relief goods for those impacted by Hurricane Ida. Our Dallas cartage team made the 11,145-pound delivery to St. Ann Church in Metairie, Louisiana, on Tuesday, and we hope the nine pallets of clean-up materials and personal supplies—everything from batteries and diapers to roofing nails and tarps—will go a long way to help the people and pets in need.
