In a heartwarming gesture, Advantage Truck Group (ATG) employees from Westminster recently brought much-needed relief to local communities by delivering hundreds of non-perishable food items. This charitable act was part of ATG's initiative called Haulin’ 4 Hunger, which focuses on alleviating food insecurity in the regions surrounding its operations. During December alone, ATG distributed over 7,000 meals across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, benefiting 15 food pantry organizations. The donation included essential items such as canned goods and cookies, ensuring families could enjoy nourishing meals during the festive season.

Haulin’ 4 Hunger has been a cornerstone of ATG's community outreach efforts since its launch in 2012. Recognizing the importance of shared meals, especially during holidays, this program aims to make a tangible difference for those facing food shortages. Sarah Harrington, ATG’s Integrated Marketing Program Manager, emphasized the significance of providing meals to families who struggle to put food on their tables. Through partnerships with various businesses, ATG has managed to expand its reach and impact significantly.

The success of Haulin’ 4 Hunger is not just a testament to ATG’s dedication but also to the collaborative efforts of its business allies. Companies like Cummins, Dennis K. Burke, G. Lopes Construction, Global Partners, SelecTrucks of New England, UniBank, and Worcester Railers HC have played pivotal roles in supporting these initiatives. Since its inception, the program has provided over 80,000 meals, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to combating hunger.

The ongoing support from both ATG employees and external partners underscores a collective mission to ensure that no one goes hungry. With continued collaboration and expansion, Haulin’ 4 Hunger aims to further increase its contributions to food-insecure communities. By fostering a culture of giving, ATG sets an inspiring example for other organizations to follow, making a lasting impact on countless lives.
