-PACT Presents $500 Check to AMERICAN LEGION in THOMASTON-
(Thomaston, CT) – November 20, 2024– Thanksgiving marks the start of holiday giving, and one Connecticut manufacturing company has been giving back to those who served our country all year long! Specifically, Watertown-based Packaging and Crating Technologies (PACT), recently presented a $500 check to the American Legion organization in Thomaston based on a charitable campaign that it launched in November for National Military Appreciation Month. The local non-profit is the leading advocate for healthcare and earned benefits for veterans, servicemembers and their families.
“Although we, as an American company, are always patriotically minded, we consider it a privilege to highlight key military holidays and commemorative milestones like Memorial Day, Veterans Day and most recently, Military Appreciation Month,” said Rodger Mort, COO of PACT. “In doing so, we are raising both awareness and financial donations for our heroes and their families.”
Mort notes that PACT has strong ties to the military which uses its various shipping and packaging container line when individual soldiers are moved from station to station, including its
patented LiftVan, PleatWrap, J-Crate, Spiral Foot, MP40, Sofa Crate and Motorcycle Crate. Each item is made from a durable and sustainable corrugated cardboard material and is capable of being reused for hundreds of moves.
“PACT benefits the military through both its innovative product line, as well as in its generous charitable programs,” said David Lauretano, commander of the Thomaston CT American Legion Post 22. “We are extremely grateful for the company’s ongoing efforts in helping to ensure that the sacrifice of our servicemen and women is never forgotten.”
