The Good Stuff, Vol. 111

Welcome to “The Good Stuff,” where we highlight positive news and ways that NAED employees and member companies go above and beyond to give back to their communities! If you have some “Good Stuff” that you would like to share with tED, find out how below.

In this issue, we highlight Atlantic Coast Electric Supply, which helped the victims of Hurricane Helene with a company-wide donation collection effort.

SUMMERVILLE, SC — Atlantic Coast Electric Supply (ACES) headquartered in Summerville, SC, felt called to help the victims of Hurricane Helene after it made landfall in the Carolinas as a category 4 hurricane on September 26, 2024. On September 30, Julia Oberle, ACES Marketing Specialist, reached out to all employees to initiate a company wide effort to help the impacted communities within the Carolinas.

ACES branches quickly jumped on board to become collection sites at all 7 branches and collected donations from October 1, 2024 – October 4, 2024. ACES also spread the word via social media, and ABC News 4 highlighted ACES as a trusted donation site, leading to strong support from the community. On October 10th, thousands of pounds of gathered donations were transferred to the ACES Concord, NC branch where the collected supplies were consolidated and transported to a larger distribution center at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 17. Many ACES employees also volunteered individually, demonstrating their dedication to helping those in need.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous individuals outside of ACES who, upon seeing our donation efforts, brought their contributions to our drop-off points. Your support is deeply appreciated and has made a meaningful impact.
