The 2021 Charitable Efforts of AAA Northeast

People with donation bins

We took a tally of AAA Northeast charitable works in the community in 2021, and the numbers speak volumes. Literally.

Whether it was delivering Meals on Wheels, conducting a food or warm-clothing drive, or donating to community organizations, the charitable actions of the last year spotlight just how much AAA members and employees truly care.

Here’s the year that was, by the numbers:

AAA employees with food donations and big check.
Connecticut branches donated items from a summer food drive to Beth-El Center and the employee charitable giving team gave $2,750.
  • 8,564 items of warm clothing donated by members and employees in our branches during a monthlong warm-clothing drive in December. The Wayne, N.J., branch collected 442 items, the most across the AAA Northeast territory. Branches will distribute the items to local organizations helping those in need.
