ACECO and United Way Team Up to Provide Backpacks for Local Students

ACECO and United Way Team Up for Back-to-School Support

In an inspiring show of community spirit, American Crane & Equipment Corporation, commonly known as ACECO, has partnered with United Way of Berks County to enhance educational resources for local students. This collaboration resulted in the assembly and distribution of 250 backpacks, each filled with essential school supplies, aimed at helping students start their school year confidently.

The Initiative Unfolds

On August 13, 2026, ACECO proudly announced the success of this community initiative. Volunteers from the company's Hoist Up! Outreach Committee, along with ACECO employees, dedicated their time to prepare and pack these backpacks. The filled backpacks, which were later distributed through four local organizations—Superheroes of Autism, One Luv Outreach, We Agape You Inc., and the Office of Representative Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz—ensured that children in need received vital supplies as they headed back to school.

Each backpack contained a diverse range of items that are critical for academic success, ensuring that students are well-prepared to meet the challenges of the new academic year. This effort reflects ACECO's long-standing commitment to supporting education and strengthening community connections.

A Testament to Teamwork and Commitment

Stephanie Delibertis, ACECO's Owner and Executive Director of Outreach Development, expressed pride in the initiative, stating, "We are proud to support our community and empower our students. This event is a testament to what can be achieved when we come together with a common purpose." Her sentiments capture the essence of what this initiative represents: a unified effort to uplift the community and foster an environment in which students can succeed.

The dedication of ACECO's employees has not gone unnoticed, with the Hoist Up! Outreach Committee extending heartfelt gratitude to all volunteers who contributed to the initiative's success. Their hard work exemplifies the company's values of teamwork and community support, showcasing the positive impact businesses can have on their local environments.

Looking Ahead

The Hoist Up! Outreach Committee is excited about the future and looks forward to continuing similar initiatives that give back to the community and support local students. Through proactive engagement and collaboration, they aim to enhance the educational landscape in Berks County.
