Just another day in the park

By Peggy:

Many hands make light work—it may sound cliché, but the employees of American Profit Recovery prove it to be true every year at our annual Adopt-a-Park Outing. This year, the employees and owners of this collection agency descended on Island Park in Brighton, MI to help their staff get ready for the spring and summer seasons. In six short hours, we not only cleared, replanted and mulched three flower beds; but we also assembled and stained over 30 picnic tables.

Although it sounds like a long day of hard work, with 20 plus workers fueled by pizza and some rockin’ 80’s tunes, the work was light, […]

Creating more educational opportunities in the collection industry

American Profit Recovery was one of a handful of great collection agencies that took part in this year’s Collectors Challenge to raise money for some important programs. Money raised through these efforts is put towards the Loomer-Mortenson Scholarship program that helps further the education of those in the collection industry. You can learn more about the program here.

You may have an impression of collection agencies that only involves a bunch of people in a dark room making phone calls all day. Not here…We have fun every day and we turn the business of raising money for these program into even more fun.

Here’s […]

Helping Others Is What We Do

It really is true that helping others feels better than helping yourself. Just ask our team. They have once again finished off another holiday season of helping area families in need. It’s the eighth year of our Adopt a Family program and our team just keeps upping their game when it comes to helping others.

This past season our team in our Michigan office raised close to $1,000 and purchased close to 100 gifts for area families and children. We adopted three families that included six children all with the help of the Farmington Hills Public Schools. They bought toys and Legos, clothing and bedding for these […]

Our Summer Charities of Choice This Year

This year the team at American Profit Recovery once again took part in our own annual Summer Charities of Choice program. This marks our seventh year doing so. This program was designed to raise funds through a variety of activities throughout the summer and then we donate all the funds raised solely to charities nominated by our employees.

Happy Tuesday!

By Joe W.

Today marks the tenth day before Christmas. If you’re like me, you still have a whole list of people who you need to shop for! Lucky for me, I am able buy gifts for my family and friends.

But there are some families who can’t buy gifts, even for their own children. Here at APR, we have done adopt a family for several years. I have always embraced this, and brought in gifts. This year, I was given the chance and honor to help Plymouth Goodfellows hand out the gifts to families in need.

When you drop off a toy at the charity, you don’t get to […]

Another summer of doing what’s right

This collection agency is different, plain and simple. And we prove it all through the year by doing what’s right for our communities and those that depend on the support of others.

When many think of collection agencies they don’t think of them giving to charity but if you’ve followed American Profit Recovery for any length of time, you know we give a lot back. And many others in the collection industry are community-minded as well. And that’s what our team did this summer; They gave back.

For several years now, our team has taken part in our Summer Charites of Choice where they picked the organizations they’d like to […]
