A. O. Smith Corporation

We are honored to give back to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, an organization that has impacted so many lives in and around our world headquarters city!

Big news! As part of the 150th anniversary celebration of A. O. Smith Corporation, the A.O. Smith Foundation recently presented the Milwaukee Rescue Mission with an incredibly generous $150,000 grant — WOW! This gift will make an immense difference at our K4-12th grade school, Cross Trainers Academy (CTA), where the grant will fund technology needs — including Chromebooks and laptops — plus a commercial washer & dryer and water heater. All very important equipment to support our young scholars as they learn, play and grow! In fact, A.O. Smith is so dedicated to helping students in need that, on the day of the check presentation, a group of employees volunteered at CTA setting up classrooms and sorting clothes. A.O. Smith, you are a blessing! Thank you for this incredible, life-changing gift. We thank God for you! #partnership #community #giveback #thankful #MRMservesMKE
