American Residential Services (ARS), a Memphis, Tenn.
based, privately-held national provider of air
conditioning, heating and plumbing services, is honoring
those who served in the armed forces by executing
community outreach initiatives geared towards veterans.
The ARS Cares for Veterans initiative aims at donating
an HVAC system or water heater to a veteran in need.
Additionally, employees have volunteered for veterans’
agencies by planting vegetable gardens and cooking over
150 meals for homeless veterans. ARS has also sponsored
several charity benefits for veterans’ organizations.
ARS has completed six HVAC and hot water heater
installations to veterans-in-need as part of the ARS
Cares Program. ARS has been working in targeted markets
alongside veterans’ services agencies to complete this
project. So far, veterans in San Diego, Tampa, Dallas,
Memphis, and Salt Lake City have enjoyed new
installations.
In addition to giving away HVAC and water heater
equipment and installation, ARS employees in every
branch across the country will be engaging in volunteer
and civic opportunities geared towards veterans’
services. Prior to Memorial Day, Conway Services, a
network provider for ARS, joined corporate ARS employees
at the Alpha Omega Veterans Services Court Avenue
location. There, they tilled and planted an 18 by 8-foot
plot and planted donated vegetables and herbs.
Additionally, the volunteers spruced up pre-established
vegetable boxes as well as donated homemade casseroles
to the facility.

“I am elated that we have strong support from ARS.
It is tremendously impactful to our clients at Alpha
Omega to see people in our community make an effort to
spend time with them and help them with various
projects,” says Cordell Walker, Executive Director of
Alpha Omega Veterans Services. “We use gardening at two
of our facilities as part of alternative therapy, so
donating time and resources in this way is invaluable to
us.”
As the “Medal of Honor” sponsor, ARS contributed to the
Military Masquerade’s fundraising efforts, which
ultimately rose over $40,000 for Alpha Omega Veterans
Services and their programming. “It is a privilege to be
able to serve those who have selflessly served our
country,” says Dave Slott, ARS CEO.
As gratitude to the men and women of the armed forces of
both past and present, ARS will continue to grow in
their veteran initiatives at their 70 branches across
the country, and they wish everyone an enjoyable and
reflective Memorial Day.
