OrangeCares Q4: Supporting the American Veterans Center

At Orange Aluminum, community support isn’t separate from our work, it’s part of it. Through our OrangeCares initiative, we select a cause each quarter that reflects our core values.

For our Q4 charity, we’re supporting the American Veterans Center, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of U.S. veterans. Their work ensures that the experiences of service members, from World War II to today, are documented, remembered, and passed on to future generations.

This quarter’s organization was nominated by Daniel, our Director of Marketing and a U.S. military veteran.

“I chose this charity because it ensures the voices of veterans from WWII, Korea, and other past wars are not lost with time. As a veteran of a modern conflict, I know how difficult it was for earlier generations to share their experiences. This organization actively records and preserves those stories so that the courage, sacrifices, and lessons of the ‘Greatest Generation’ and beyond live on for future generations. Without this work, too many of their legacies would fade away.”
— Daniel, Director of Marketing

Why the American Veterans Center

The American Veterans Center focuses on preserving history through:

• Recording and archiving veterans’ firsthand accounts
• Educational programming connecting veterans with younger generations
• National events recognizing service and sacrifice

Their mission: To guard the legacy and honor the sacrifice of America’s veterans and active-duty personnel.

This aligns closely with our GRACED values — particularly Care, Dependability, and Enthusiasm in supporting work that strengthens community understanding and preserves meaningful history.
