Herb Garden Kits Donated to Local Elementary School for National Nurition Month

TBC Corporation Partners with the American Heart Association to

Celebrate National Nutrition Month

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – March 26, 2022 – TBC Corporation (TBC), a leader in the tire and automotive service industry with several trusted well-known brands, including retail brands Tire Kingdom Service Centers and  NTB Tire & Service Centers, and franchise brands Big O Tires and Midas, celebrated National Nutrition Month alongside the American Heart Association (AHA) by providing herb garden kits to WestwardElementary. National Nutrition Month is a campaign recognized every March in an effort to raise awareness on developing healthful eating habits and making informed food choices.  The herb gardens were delivered to the school located at 1101 Golf Ave., West Palm Beach at 4 pm on Wednesday, March 23rd.

For nearly 100 years, the AHA has been fighting heart disease and stroke and helping families and communities thrive. Together TBC and the AHA designed herb garden kits to help educate and inform future generations that unhealthy diets lead to poorer health outcomes, including higher rates of death from heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The kits packed by TBC Associates, containing soil, pots, gloves, water cans, and a variety of seeds, will also fight the issue of nutrition security in Palm Beach County by providing the resources to children at Westward Elementary to start a garden at their home. Students will be provided the tools to plant and harvest along with educational resources on how to reduce sodium in their diets by using the fresh herbs from their homegrown garden. 

Westward Elementary is a title 1 public school in the Palm Beach County School District whose mission is to encourage the development of knowledgeable, principled and caring students who strive to become active citizens of their global community. The responsibility for the development of each child is shared by the home, school and community. The schools’ title 1 programs are designed to improve academic outcomes for all students by strengthening instruction, promoting a culture of high expectations, engaging and empowering families, ensuring safe and healthy learning conditions, and providing a broad range of student supports.

“We believe in making a difference and look for ways to support our communities and positively impact those around us,” said Brian Maciak, EVP, General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer of TBC Corporation, parent company of Tire Kingdom, who oversees social responsibility. “We are committed to building a culture of health and wellness and working with the American Heart Association to provide supplies for students to create their own gardens brings us a step closer to being a healthier Palm Beach County.”

For over 10 years, Tire Kingdom, a division of TBC Corporation, has been a proud supporter of the AHA. In 2016, Tire Kingdom led the Palm Beach County Heart Walk campaign which raised $1.1M for the mission of the American Heart Association, the most money raised in Palm Beach County Heart Walk history. An integral part of TBC and all business units spanning retail, franchise, wholesale, distribution, ecommerce and corporate shared services is corporate social responsibility (CSR). The company has initiatives that are driven by the company as well as initiatives that are Associate-driven, all communicated to associates via a formalized program called TBC Driven To Give (#TBCDrivenToGive).

Bear Necessities: How to Get Involved With Animal Volunteering

0

By Jessica Brody

There’s no shortage of abandoned or neglected pets across the USA and it takes an extraordinary effort on all our parts to ensure that they find the help they need. If you want to do your part, here’s what to consider first.

Resources

Before you commit time and energy to working with one of the many volunteer agencies, it’s often a good idea to carry out some preliminary research.

  • The Humane Society lists some conditions before you apply to volunteer.
  • There are a number of different ways you can help with animal welfare, such as fostering in your own home.
  • It’s important to understand the role of animal volunteers and the impact they can have on the lives of animals.

Organizations

It’s important to take your time before making a commitment to finding the most competent and ethical organizations across the USA.

  • The Animal Welfare Institute, established in 1951, boasts a Charity Navigator Rating of 99.99 out of 100 and seeks to educate, advocate and limit cruelty to animals.
  • Brother Wolf is an example of a foster-based organization, meaning they help each animal to find a place to live of their own. There are many of these across the US.
  • For a global focus, The International Fund for Animal Welfare is dedicated to the protection of endangered species and the limitation of climate change impacts.

Independent Action

You may find that the nonprofits listed above don’t address your own personal concerns. In which case, you may decide to take independent action instead.

  • Fostering an animal is one of the simplest and most effective ways to impact positive change.
  • Forming your own animal rescue is a massive undertaking and you’ll need to plan carefully in advance.
  • If you want to start your own non-profit corporation, be sure to understand the ins and outs of business structure.

If you want to help abandoned or neglected pets, you’ll find no shortage of options. Just be certain to pick carefully about where and to whom you devote your valuable time, energy or money.
