Positive Change through Personal Involvement
As a family-owned company, American Textile Company believes in taking care of our communities — not only by providing jobs, but also through donations of time and money.
The Pittsburgh Promise promotes the reform of urban schools so that young people are prepared for successful and meaningful lives. Their goal is to send all eligible Pittsburgh youth to college or trade school with a scholarship. American Textile’s support of the Pittsburgh Promise supports these scholarships.
Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC provides quality pediatric care to children in the Pittsburgh region and beyond. American Textile’s donation helped complete their new distraction therapy rooms. Distraction therapy prevents patient anxiety and reduces the need for sedation, which ultimately improves patient care and safety, and reduces wait times for children in need of important health and medical procedures.
The UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is a world-class cancer center. To help comfort those battling cancer, American Textile supports UPMC Hillman with product and financial donations to support its mission of providing compassionate care.

American Textile Company provides assistance to the foundation’s meals program, providing over two million meals to students at school.
American Textile Company supports the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s mission to feed those in need and mobilize the community to eliminate hunger. Our employees lend a helping hand in the Food Bank’s efforts.
Since 2011, American Textile Company has been a significant employer in Tifton, Ga. Our support of the Tifton area YMCA financed a new outdoor walking track, exercise area, and picnic pavilion. Children and adults are all able to utilize the new facility for exercise and recreation.
Pandemic Relief
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we dedicated nearly half our workforce to the production of face masks that were delivered to non-profits, nursing homes, veterans clinics, and shelters that were hit especially hard with the virus.
