Before starting our service projects, the Director delivered a quick speech of gratitude and then shared a video introducing the role of Kids on the Move. What an exceptional program! Knowing the purpose and mission of Kids on the Move boosted my desire to help them. I would've stayed all day if they'd let me!

We got to frame in a little door opening and start them off toward making 1 office into 2, and did our best to change a hallway window into a door for those offices. We also got to paint the outside railings to make it look sharp again... I think my APX Gives Back shirt now shows a little love from actual time on the job. It was great to get out of the office and a little dirty =) Nothing better than a little hard work for such a great place like Kids on the Move.

What a great organization! The help they provide to families who have children with special needs is amazing, and it was humbling to be able to help them in some small way. I am thankful to work for a company that knows what is important in life, and gives us these types of opportunities to serve others. I look forward to helping again, and hope to have my kids along beside me next time! It was great to be able to help Kids on the Move during the United Way Day of Caring. What a great organization!

It is fun to see the difference a group of committed people can make - a difference your group made. The United Way Day of Caring was a huge success in Utah County with more than 1200 participants from dozens of companies throughout Utah County. It will be fun to see the good APX Alarm does again next year. Thank you for making a difference.

I really enjoyed learning more about Kids on the Move and the great service it is to the community. I was able to spend a few hours working on the landscaping and was impressed with the people I worked along side. It made my day. The Day of Caring was a nice service opportunity.

When we first showed up we got to watch a brief introductory video about KOTM and to see what a difference it makes in so many people's lives including some of APX's own. We then got split up into a few groups to tackle the various projects they needed done and I went with the group who was assigned to paint one of their office rooms. When we first were shown the room it had drab white walls with some kiddy themed wallpaper bordering the walls. It certaintly could use some sprucing up. The lady who showed us the room told us that if the wallpaper was going to be too difficult to remove then we could go ahead and just paint the walls but Lindsay was pretty adamant that we were not going to do this job half-way and so we proceeded to spray lots of vinager water to remove the wallpaper and once that was done got started with the painting. It was a pretty long and smelly process but in the end the room looked so much better than it had before and we had a fun time doing it. I'm really glad that I was able to go to KOTM that day.
