round 90 volunteers from Gerdau Ameristeel Knoxville, in the U.S. state of Tennessee, made every effort to help people in need. In 2005, employees from the mill took part in activities organized by the Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM), an institution that has existed for over 45 years. They serve food to the homeless and help with KARM’s Annual Clothing Drive by collecting and delivering clothes to help keep out the cold during the winter months.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, volunteers also made food baskets to distribute to people in need. The network spread to the employees’ families, who joined in the activities.
