The Trucking Cares Foundation recently announced it has donated $15,000 to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, a non-profit dedicated to supporting the families of truckers who have been sidelined due to injuries or illnesses.
“Trucking is more than an industry, it is a family,” said TCF Chairman Greg Owen, head coach of Ability Tri-Modal. “Truckers look out for one another, and when one of our family members falls on hard times, we extend our full support.”
“The trucking industry is built on community, and the Trucking Cares Foundation continues to show what it means to care for our own,” said Courtney Niemann, executive director of the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund. “Their generosity allows us to offer peace of mind to drivers and families facing medical crises.”
The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund provides financial assistance to Class A CDL over-the-road truck drivers when an illness or injury forces them out of work. Over the past 15 years, the St. Christopher Fund has helped over 4,100 truckers cover over $5.3 million in necessary household expenses such as rent and mortgage payments, utility bills, vehicle loans, and insurance.
The organization also offers free preventative health and wellness initiatives such as diabetes prevention, smoking cessation, vaccines, cancer screening, and chronic disease management.
