The Gift of Heart
In 2008, close to 20 Tennessee Operations employees went shopping at Wal-Mart to buy toys and needed items for underprivileged children in our community. Close to $13,000 worth of toys were donated to Toys for Blount County, $10,805 from Alcoa and a $2,000 match from area Wal-marts. Even during difficult times, employees came together in the name of safety and showed a lot of heart.
