Australia: Alcoa's Month of Service

In October, designated as a "Month of Service," Australian employees of Alcoa donated more than 7,500 volunteer hours to non-profit organizations and community service.

Some projects included:

• working at the Peel Soup Kitchen in Western Australia
• constructing an Indigenous Bushfoods Garden near Alcoa’s Point Henry Smelter in Victoria with Greening Australia
• painting, cleaning, and installing a floor at the Portland Surf Lifesaving Club
• repainting a beloved train at the Harvey Lion's Club

With 35 to 40% of Alcoa employees participating in the initiative, Managing Director Alan Cransberg reported, “October is always a fun time for Alcoans, but importantly we see real community results and efforts which will have a lasting impact – we helped over 600 community groups this year and planted over 4000 native seedlings."
