2022 Completed Cases
Why We're Nuts About Uber
You may know them as the company that can ferry you from place to place. But we think of Uber as the freight company that helped us supply the free transportation required to get 35,000 pounds’ worth of donated peanut butter transported to earthquake survivors in Haiti.
A Sixth Sense For Helping
Shortly after Hurricane Ian hit, several Southwest Florida non-profits were flooded with extra requests for assistance. The six electric pallet jacks donated by our friends at Briggs Equipment, NOBLELIFT and Hy-tek enabled groups like the Harry Chapin Food Bank to handle this record demand with ease – and to distribute millions of pounds’ worth of food to hurricane survivors in just a few weeks.
Cue The Compassion
Less than three days after Hurricane Ian hit, Operation Barbecue Relief was on-site and ready to serve nearly a million hot meals – thanks in part to ALAN and in-kind donors C&S Wholesale Grocers and BJ’s Wholesale Club, who stepped in to provide vital refrigerated food storage. Meanwhile a dream team of other donors like Cowan Systems and RLS Logistics enabled us to supply the donated transportation required to ship 100,000 pounds’ worth of bread, rice, vegetables aluminum pans and frozen meals from various points across the country.
