LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - Allen Lund Company (ALC) is doing a huge part this season to make the holidays happier for families in need by participating in a number of charitable organizations.
Along with continuing its partnership with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles through working with Holidays From the Heart to help provide underfunded families of patients, ALC is providing the trucking for a sea container destined for Hands Together in Haiti- effectively aiding those who need help most both here and abroad.
"We're proud to work with CHLA, which is one of the crown jewels of Los Angeles for organizations that serve L.A. County and beyond," Kenny Lund, VP of Support Operations for ALC, said in a press release. To help the cause, the company shopped to provide toys, clothing, and shoes for a family of eight who could otherwise not afford it.
"CHLA has served the L.A. population and the Allen Lund Company well. We are proud to give back in a small way," Kenny added.
As for the Haiti-bound container, Mission Haiti Coordinator Karl Holtsnider expressed heart-warming gratitude for ALC’s part. “Your generous and unsung gift of trucking is helping many, many desperately poor people in a forgotten corner of the world. We cannot thank you enough!"
The container took with it:
- Life sustaining Liquid I.V. crystals
- An electric organ
- Three pianos
- More than 50 musical instruments
- Equipment to set up a woodworking shop
- New cabinets for tool storage
- Shoes and shirts
Chris Clelland, Flatbed Division Manager for ALC, said how great it is to work for a company that supports such causes.
"I am very proud that we are able to help this cause in our small way,” he added.
Teaming up with so many organizations, both locally and internationally, Allen Lund Company is surely giving Santa a run for his money in spreading cheer this holiday season!
