Company Timeline
Our Town America Today
Today, Our Town America provides new neighbors with the traditional hospitality of warm gifts from the neighborhood in a premium Welcome Package. The only difference from 1972 to today is that now we introduce over 6 million families a year to thousands of businesses across the country. We carefully prepare our special packages from a 20,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility. Personal thoughtfulness and generosity are just as appreciated today as they were 30 years ago. The necessary psychological triggers which prompt our gift package to be opened give our local business sponsors the opportunity they deserve. Plus it gives these families the special attention they need — all wrapped up in the spirit of a hospitable, caring town.
