CHARITY ORGANIZATION DELIVERS THE GOODS

Illinois-based Haulin’ For Humanity provides cargo delivery services for other non-profits

In a time when truckers and trucking companies are facing tough times and every operational dollar is watched under a microscope, Haulin’ For Humanity is delivering the goods for free. John Gervase, a Burr Ridge, Illinois, owner-operator says  “We’re a new non-profit trucking organization focused on helping other non-profits by hauling cargo free of charge.”

The rig Gervase’s is using to haul goods is a full-on custom 2000 Pete 379 extended hood donated to their cause by an unnamed source who believes in Haulin’ For Humanity’s cause.

“Our truck is available only to nonprofit organizations and churches,” says Gervase. “ We can provide hauling for cargo such as food, clothing and building supplies with a 53-foot van trailer or flatbed as appropriate. Our travel radius is 300 miles but arrangements can be made for needs beyond that range.

Gervase says the organization’s creed is simple: “If the need is there, we are there.”

As every trucker knows it costs money to keep a rig in operation. “To help cover trip costs,” says Gervase, “we ask for a donation that is appropriate to your organization’s financial situation.”

Haulin’ For Humanity is currently looking for partners, sponsors and donors to help them meet the financial needs to keep the truck running such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.

“We are a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt charity and 100% of all proceeds go directly to the operation of the truck,” explains Gervase. “No salaries are paid. All financial records are available for review.”
