Abell Pest Control Marks Five Years of ‘12 Days of Giving’

TORONTO – Abell Pest Control is kicking off the holiday season by marking a major milestone: the fifth anniversary of its “12 Days of Giving” campaign. What began as a way to thank team members has evolved into a program that celebrates Abell’s people and helps families in need in the communities where it does business. In keeping with this focus on meaningful community giving, Abell is also making a special holiday contribution this year to the University of Guelph’s Canadian Bee Gut Project, Balancing Pest Control and Pollinator Health: Disentangling the Role of Microbiome Imbalance in Honey Bee Sensitivity.

“‘12 Days of Giving’ is one of the ways we show our appreciation for our team members at Abell. It’s an opportunity for us to thank them for the work they do in the communities we serve throughout the year,” said Brett MacKillop, president of Abell Pest Control. “The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration and togetherness, and on the second day of giving we are providing every full-time employee with a $500 gift to help make the season a little brighter.”

Over the years, “12 Days of Giving” has become a much-anticipated part of the holiday season for Abell team members, creating fun traditions and lasting memories for them and their families. From holiday baking contests to designing festive greeting cards and decorating gingerbread houses, team members have embraced the campaign, showcasing their creativity and holiday spirit. Friendly competitions, complete with substantial prizes, add even more excitement and highlight Abell's people-first culture.

In keeping with this focus on supporting both employees and communities, Abell is once again helping families in need by hosting local food drives at branches across North America. Team members will collect nonperishable items for nearby food banks and invite customers and community members to donate at collection points in their communities. This continues Abell’s long-standing support of local food banks, with more than $100,000 donated over the past five years, in addition to the food collected at its branches.
