Food insecurity in New England could increase by nearly 50% in 2020 due to the pandemic. In response, Advantage Truck Group (ATG) announced it will double its commitment to fight food insecurity through Haulin’ 4 Hunger. ATG’s annual program, Haulin’ 4 Hunger, brings together employees, customers, and sponsors to help provide meals to those in need.
ATG and Haulin’ 4 Hunger will help provide 6,000 meals as well as expand support to 12 food pantries. The food pantries stretch across communities near ATG locations throughout New England. Since its launch in 2012 and including this year’s donations, Haulin’ 4 Hunger has provided more than 22,000 meals.
“We are grateful for the continued support that our employees, customers, and business partners have for this program and the community of giving it has created in the trucking industry,” says Kevin G. Holmes, president and CEO of ATG. “We appreciate their commitment to helping double our reach by expanding to 12 food pantries and know their support makes a difference to the most vulnerable members of our communities and to the local nonprofit organizations whose hunger and food insecurity programs are helping those who need it most.”
“ATG is committed to continuing our tradition of helping others by fighting food insecurity in the communities where we live and work,” Holmes continues. “During a time when a growing number of people are facing hunger and our local food pantries desperately need our help, our annual Haulin’ 4 Hunger program has allowed us to join with our customers, employees, and sponsors in this season of giving to help provide meals to those who need it most.”
