2020 marked the 20th anniversary of working with the Partners Assisting Local Schools (PALS) through sponsoring a number of initiatives designed to encourage and inspire young people to consider continuing their education and growing their careers within their home community.

In 2020, Royale launched the Home For Every Pet Project and invested more than $100,000 to help participating animal shelters continue to find forever homes for these animals.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, people began buying bulk toilet paper, leaving supplies limited and in some cases shelves bare for weeks at a time. We stepped in to ensure employees, partners and community groups didn’t go without by donating more than 5,000 cases of bathroom tissue.

Rising unemployment in 2020 led to a growing demand for food banks as they navigated uncharted waters in the midst of the pandemic. In  addition  to  a  total  donation  of  over  $1  million  to  food  banks  in  the  regions where we work, we supported food banks with volunteer hours and through  donations of take-out containers.
