UNIQUE TRUCKING FIRM HAULS FOR CHARITIES, TAKES ONLY DONATIONS
Haulin' for Humanity Seeking More Opportunities to Serve

 

            CHICAGO, July 6, 2009 – Haulin' for Humanity, a nonprofit trucking company that hauls food and other supplies for donations only, has just been awarded 501-C3 tax-exempt status by the federal government. Haulin' for Humanity, which combines a passion for trucking with a spiritual call to service, is now looking for more opportunities to move freight for other nonprofit groups and church organizations.

            Founded by John C. Gervase, Haulin' for Humanity has been in operation since late 2008 and has hauled supplies regularly for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The Food Bank serves a 13-county area, providing foodstuffs  to 520 sites including soup kitchens, pantries, childcare agencies, shelters, and after-school snack programs.

            “There is no other trucking service like Haulin' for Humanity,” said Gervase. “I will take supplies wherever they are needed, including to disaster sites within the U.S. Recently, I took a load of water to a town in Missouri whose water supply was damaged by a tornado.”

            Gervase says there is an urgent need for his company's services in today's current depressed economy. “Every nonprofit group needs to keep its costs under control, and Haulin' for Humanity provides a unique service that enables other nonprofits to stretch their resources that much further.”

            Gervase now operates two to three days a week, and he says he is looking for other nonprofit groups he can help. “I love driving a truck, and I've had a lifelong interest in community service. My company allows me to indulge my passion for driving while serving a good cause.”
