A career opportunity over 50 years in the making. Through it all, Averitt has been growing and thriving.
The mission of Averitt Cares for Kids is to give back to our communities and help make a difference in the lives of others. In an effort to focus entirely on children, we updated the name of the program in 2007 from “Averitt Cares” to “Averitt Cares for Kids.” In doing so, we pledged that all future contributions will benefit causes that improve and save the lives of children, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Since 1986, Averitt Cares for Kids has donated over $15 million to charities.
Averitt Cares for Kids is a non-profit charitable giving organization funded by and on behalf of our associates. Since 1986, Averitt associates have touched the lives of the less fortunate through this program.
The organization is funded through associate contributions, as well as through company contributions made in recognition of associates' accomplishments, participation in Team Up Community Challenge projects, and life events.

Our philosophy of "Our Driving Force is People" extends beyond our customers and associates.
We believe in generously giving back to the communities that have supported us through the years. We have received numerous charitable awards for our corporate giving and have actively supported groups such as:
