FreightCenter.com,
a Trinity based shipping services provider, is taking its charitable giving to
a new level this year. Its focus on community
service is an example of both corporate responsibility and individual duty to
serve those in need. Every year, employees
volunteer to serve local organizations, including Toys for Tots West Pasco,
Feeding America, SPCA Suncoast, Runaway Alternatives Project (RAP) House and
many more.
Staff
will contribute in a variety of ways from sorting toys to feeding and cooking
for families and youth from November throughout January. Employee volunteer efforts are supported by FreightCenter
as part of their 'Cash for Caring' program.
FreightCenter pays employees an hourly base for each hour spent helping
local organizations in the community.
"I really look forward to this program every year," said Erin Jorjakis , Account Manager at FreightCenter. "I get the
chance to volunteer for an organization I really care about and I'm supported
by my workplace, it's really an amazing opportunity."
During
the holiday season, FreightCenter becomes a workforce that tackles more than
just day-to-day operations. The company pledges
to donate 250lbs of food to Feeding
America by the Thanksgiving holiday. FreightCenter
has also signed up to be a Toys for Tots drop off location.
Its 120 plus employees donated a truckload of toys last year, and
they're hoping to tip the scale again.
"These
local organizations could really use our help and this is a great time of the
year to give back," said Matthew Brosious, CEO and Co-Founder of
FreightCenter. "When you get an
opportunity to give a family's 5-year-old a new bike for Christmas, it's more
rewarding than you could imagine."
During
the next month, the community is encouraged to drop by its corporate
headquarters located at 2049 Welbilt Blvd in Trinity to donate an unwrapped toy
or food that will go to local families in need. To learn more about
