Elgin, IL (October 5, 2006) -- MAX Mutual Aid eXchange of Overland Park, Kan., donated funds to support the denominational Wellness Ministry of the Association of Brethren Caregivers in 2006 and is increasing its donation to the Wellness Ministry in 2007. Supporting the Wellness Ministry follows MAX's vision of "creating and sustaining wholeness through preserving and restoring property, lives and community," states a release from the company.
