It was early 2020 when Aziz "AJ" Jamal, CEO of Elite Cellular Inc. dba Elite Supply Chain Solutions, decided to make his company's presence felt beyond the reverse logistics industry. He wanted to do more for the community his company calls home. Thus, "Elite Cares" was born.

Coincidentally, just a few short weeks after brainstorming the new initiative with other members of the leadership team, the world's collective suffering at the hands of COVID-19 began. Naturally, this made Elite Cares even more imperative, which just wrapped up its third consecutive holiday season of giving back to the community. AJ went on to say, "Many businesses and individuals do their part for the community by making charitable donations. We want to do more, be more engaging, really care. People are hurting out there and we want to give more than just money. We want to devote our time and effort, too."
