"Our employees take an active role in seeking out and helping the people in their communities."

Gerdau Ameristeel employees have a long history of volunteering their own time and money to local organizations. They have painted homes for low-income seniors, hosted women's basketball teams during championship games, cleaned up coastal areas, and purchased toys, food, and other gifts for those in need. They support local schools, have helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity, and serve meals at organizations that work with the homeless. These are just a few of the many diverse community projects our employees have, and continue to, participate in.

Gerdau Ameristeel divisions also help out when natural disasters strike. Through employee-led fund-raising efforts, and direct donations of materials, we have helped the victims of tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods to rebuild their homes, their communities, and their lives. We believe that giving back to the communities that support us is central to our leadership role in the minimill steel industry, and is an important part of our stakeholders' values of teamwork and commitment to success.
