Community Focus

A.B. May is proud to be a part of Kansas City, and we are committed to partnering with local organizations to invest in our shared future. As a company, we get excited about getting involved in our community. We are especially moved by the needs of marginalized neighborhoods within Kansas City, and we believe that dignity is key to any mission.

We choose to especially focus on partners who are developing next-generation leaders and meeting universal needs like food, warmth, and quality education. Here are a few of the organizations we love and support:

Champion In The Community

Recently A.B. May partnered with FOX4 to find a champion in the community, someone who goes above and beyond! We found that with Peggy Conway! As the winner, Peggy received a new heating/cooling system from A.B. May! See her story in this video.

Caring for Kids

Caring for Kids mobilizes community organizations in partnership with schools to inspire hope and help prepare children to reach their highest potential. We love partnering with our neighborhood school, Eastwood Hills Elementary. Our coworkers volunteer to be penpals, lunch buddies, reading coaches, and participate in clothing and book drives. From back-to-school to Teacher Appreciation events and our yearly 5th-grade Training Academy, we count it a privilege to partner with Eastwood Hills.

Bishop Sullivan Center

Bishop Sullivan Center shows God’s love to people in financial hardship by providing food, job-finding assistance, and other aid. Beyond material assistance, Bishop Sullivan Center strives to build relationships between those who live in poverty and those who do not, promoting mutual understanding and affirming the dignity of all. We are especially excited to participate in Project Eldercool. Since 2000, Project Eldercool has installed 5,600 air conditioners for free and kept thousands of seniors safe from the heat. This organization is close to our hearts because comfort is core to our business.

High Aspirations

High Aspirations is a mentorship program in Kansas City’s urban core for developing personal and life skills in African-American young men to enable them to live socially productive lives. High Aspirations connects community leaders with boys ages 8-18 in a multi-faceted program designed to innovatively improve their lives socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. We have watched them grow from a tiny start-up in 2004 to the robust leadership development program they are today. We are big believers in the life-changing power of mentorship and relational investment, and we love the way High Aspirations empowers kids to achieve their goals in life.

Union KC Soccer Club

A.B. May is thrilled to announce its partnership with Union KC Soccer Club as the new presenting sponsor. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the Kansas City community. Just as A.B. May has built trust with homeowners since 1959, we look forward to supporting local youth as they develop skills both on and off the soccer field. Together with Union KC, we aim to foster a culture of teamwork, respect, and integrity—values that align with our company’s tradition of service and reliability. We are excited for what this partnership will bring to both the athletes and the broader community.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

At A.B. May, we’re proud to support the fight against breast cancer through our partnership with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. During our recent campaign, we donated $500 for every full HVAC system sold, resulting in an incredible contribution of $25,000. This effort reflects our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community we serve and supporting causes that matter to our customers and team members. Together, we’re making a difference, one system at a time

A.B. May Champion Contest

A.B. May is dedicated to recognizing and supporting those who make a difference in the Kansas City community. Through the Champion Contest, the company celebrates individuals who go above and beyond to serve others by awarding them a premium Daikin Fit heating and cooling system at no cost. This initiative reflects A.B. May’s core values of trust, service, and relationship-building. Additionally, A.B. May partners with local organizations, such as High Aspirations and KC Pet Project, to uplift and mentor young leaders and support community programs. Recently, the company contributed over $22,000 to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, continuing their tradition of giving back and inspiring positive change.
