Fun. Family. Good Cause.

Last night at the CLC-AGC Volunteer Night at the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank, fun was had by all as Volunteers bagged 6,076 lbs of squash (5,063 meals) to feed hungry families in Oklahoma.

Congratulations to the Oklahoma City CLC-AGC for being the most productive baggers – beating out Tulsa’s CLC-AGC! …just saying.
Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope

Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope

Please join Bryan and his family, Thursday, November 14th for CLC OKC Volunteer Night at the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Over 675,000 Oklahoman’s will wake up today and wonder where their next meal will come from.  Oklahoma ranks among the top five states in the nation in the number of people who are hungry, but thanks to donors, volunteers and advocates, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is “Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope.”

This will be a competition between OKC and Tulsa to see who can sort the most pounds of food per hour. Come out and support your city!

Families and children are welcome to attend. If any attendee is under the age of 18 they will need to fill out and submit a consent form on arrival.

AGC of OK Disaster Relief for Tornado Victims

AGC of OK Disaster Relief for Tornado Victims

Over 45 of our AGC of OK (Association of General Contractors) member companies have come together to raise over $15,000 in cash in addition to two truckloads of non-perishables that were donated to a local church in Moore.

The CLC (Construction Leadership Council) also volunteered with the Salvation Army for 3 days. Neighbor helping neighbor. That’s what Oklahoma is ALL about.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those families who were affected by the May 19th and May 20th tornadoes.

 

Construction Story Time

Construction Story Time

On June 10th, Dean Baker, Project Manager here at ACO, spent the day reading constructing stories to a group of children at Mustang’s Public Library. Dean also gave the children a tour of our current expansion project at this same library.
Young kids and adults alike were amazed when they saw books come to life as they were shown actual construction going on around them, comparing the equipment on site to the equipment in the books they read.

“The Library Staff at Mustang were amazing and so were the kids. They were very interested in all of the construction equipment in the books but it really came to life for them when we went outside and they actually saw it in person. It was a fun day for all!”, Dean said.
