ABATE is a biker organization dedicated to helping children in need. They teamed up with WOCAP to find families and distribute toys bought with the proceeds from their annual toy run back in September. P&G also donated cleaning supplies for parents to pick up along with the toys. While bikers were considered troublemakers a long time ago, nowadays many of them band together to support good causes.

Tuesday, Allen County Commissioners approved a 15-year 75% tax abatement for the company. The Bath Schools and Township Trustees have already approved the abatement as well. A new 388,000 square feet manufacturing facility will be built along with a 265,000 square-foot addition to the existing warehouse.
