CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Carolina Handling is celebrating its 58th
anniversary in 2024 with a yearlong campaign entitled "Handling
Hunger Together" to assist hunger relief organizations throughout
the company's five-state footprint.
According to Feeding America, more than 44 million people in the
U.S. face hunger each year, including 1 in 5 children. In 2022, 49
million people turned to food banks and other charitable
organizations to help feed their families.
About 8 million pounds of food was collected and delivered to
feeding organizations in 2023, according to Move for Hunger, with
food banks in need of pallet jacks, lift trucks and other material
handling equipment to move non-perishables and fresh produce.
"There are numerous organizations throughout the Southeast that
receive, store and distribute thousands of pounds of food each year
to feed the hungry in their communities," said Carolina Handling
President & CEO Brent
Hillabrand. "The logistics of that can be overwhelming to
organizations that don't have applicable, reliable equipment.
That's where companies like Carolina Handling can help."
In celebration of Carolina Handling's 58 years in business in
2024, the Charlotte, NC-based
intralogistics company is giving away 58 motorized pallet jacks to
hunger relief organizations throughout its territory, which
includes North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida's Central time zone.
The Raymond 8210 electric pallet jacks are used 2016 and newer
models with battery packs. They will be awarded on a
first-requested basis to qualifying organizations completing a
submission form on the Carolina Handling website. Equipment will be
delivered to all recipients at no charge.
