Rent-to-own News - DAC Products gives back on Mother's DayA group of DAC employees and family members turned out on the Saturday before Mother’s Day to present roses to all the women residents at Village Care Nursing Home, an elderly care facility in King, NC.
Tony Smith, DAC President stated "This is in my opinion, the best thing DAC has ever done."
DAC’s Contribution/Fund Raising committee planned and coordinated the event. The committee is staffed with company employees from the manufacturing floor and supported by ownership. They raise money through various means and the company matches the funds, which are used for a variety of philanthropic endeavors.
