TSA
Get 'em fed. Get 'em safe. Get 'em home.
That's the slogan and mission statement behind Trucker Charity Inc., a non profit organization founded on the premise of assisting members in the trucking industry that are in need.
About Trucker Charity:
According to their Facebook page, Trucker Charity was founded when a group of truck drivers came together to furnish Christmas for a few drivers who had fallen on hard times and were unable to provide for their families. Fueled by this success, the group forged forward, hoping to make a difference and provide aid for fellow truck drivers. To this day, Trucker Charity is founded and operated by CDL-holding professional drivers and their site declares that 100% of all cash donations benefit drivers in need. Donations to Trucker Charity help fund the purchase of bus tickets, food and hotel rooms for stranded drivers.
The organization is also proud to assist fallen truck drivers by sponsoring their "Last Ride Home" program. In the event of a driver passing away during a cross-country trip, Trucker Charity will make arrangements to transport the driver to his final resting place. In addition, Trucker Charity has recently opened a food bank to offset the cost of meals and travel essentials while traveling on the road.
TSA and Trucker Charity:
Have you seen the TSATruck? Our semi-truck has been making stops and delivering loads across the country to spread the word about our member benefits and insurance offerings for truck drivers and their families. Manned by Trucker Charity's very own Tony Hamilton and his pet chihuahua, the TSATruck is traveling across the country to spread awareness about how we can help professional drivers support themselves and their loved ones in this profession - both on and off the road.
To learn more about the TSATruck, visit TSA's Facebook page. If you see the truck out on the road, do us a favor and snap a picture. When you share it, tag us at @TSATruck and we'll be sure to share your post with our followers and fans.
