Our Debt to the Community
At A.S.A.P. Garage Door Repair, Inc., we recognize our civic responsibility to give back to our community and its members as a way of supporting the causes we believe in, saying “thank you” for the help that others may have shown us throughout our lives, and simply to be caretakers of one another, helping our brothers and sisters who call this part of our country home.
Below are some of the causes we support on a regular basis. Please call us if you would like to learn more about any of them, or about our philanthropic work.
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans
Paul Schifferer is a 20-year veteran of the Army National Guard and current president of a local chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. With his time, dedication, and passion for veterans’ causes, he continually strives to find ways to help his fellow vets, especially those in need. Paul has done his due diligence, and he believes that one of the best veterans’ charities around is the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans (MSHV). With the help of the Fox Valley Chapter of Business Networking International (BNI), Paul champions an annual fundraising event for the Shelter. The 2016 event (called Bowling with BNI), which took place on Sunday, March 6, at the Bowling Green Sports Complex in West Chicago, raised $5,100 for the Midwest Shelter. More information about the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans is available at www.HelpAVeteran.org.
Anderson Animal Shelter
We are proud to introduce a new partnership with Anderson Animal Shelter. Their mission is to improve the lives of pets and people through service, education, and advocacy. We are so excited to be a part of this cause, and cannot wait to begin. “Community Partners are important to our success,” says Anderson Animal Shelter Director of Development Holly Alcala. “We are grateful for organizations and their employees for their passion!” For more information about Anderson Animal Shelter, please visit www.AndersonAnimalShelter.org.
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley
We regularly partner with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley to help build homes for those who have been left homeless. The mission of Habitat for Humanity is to “build communities and hope” by giving those in need a decent place to live. We subscribe to that philosophy and have made this mission a part of ours, and we look forward to continuing the tradition of donating our time, materials, and hearts to help build many more homes in the Fox Valley area. More information about Habitat for Humanity is available at www.HabitatIllinois.org.
Run Fur Shelter 5k
Since 2013, we have been proud to be an annual sponsor of the Run Fur Shelter 5k, held in South Elgin, Illinois. Run Fur Shelter is a great local charity that not only does all it can to save the lives and promote the welfare of pets, but goes the extra mile by partnering with the Salvation Army’s Golden Diners Program to help our senior citizens.
