La Cañada Flintridge Calif. - The Allen Lund Company (ALC) closed 2017 with their second successful year of acts of kindness around the country. The launch began in 2016 when allenoffices across the country were encouraged to take part in 40 acts of kindness to celebrate ALC's 40 years in business. The community service events in 2017 amounted to over 70 acts of kindness, $250,000 in donations and sponsorships, and over a thousand hours of time given.

"Our first year of acts of kindness for the commencement of our 40th anniversary was a huge success. I am not surprised we surpassed our goals for 2017, commented Allen Lund, CEO of Allen Lund Company. It is unbelievable to see the performance of our employees with how many people they helped in so many meaningful ways. I'm excited to see what we do this year. ALC has the best employees, and I am so proud of everyone and how they worked to accomplish such a successful charitable year."
