At the event, volunteers served and packaged food for a total of 13,303 meals at the Central Texas Foodbank in Austin.

  • Eden Prairie, Minn.-based third-party logistics giant C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. contributed $1,030,000 in 2018 to nonprofit organizations in North America, Europe, and Asia. Approximately $350,000 of the grants, which were made through the C.H. Robinson Foundation, went to nonprofits in the company's headquarters state of Minnesota to support causes like educational success for at-risk youth, hunger prevention, and affordable housing.

  • Transportation industry financial services firm eCapital LLC donated 100 Razor scooters to The Marine Corps' Toys for Tots Foundation on behalf of its trucking clientele. Participants in the firm's JoyRide program hand-delivered the scooters to a Toys for Tots facility on Nov. 15, underlining the Las Vegas-based company's commitment to children's causes.

  • Lowell, Ark.-based supply chain solutions provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. and Dallas-based logistics technology vendor Omnitracs LLC participated in Wreaths Across America, an annual event in which volunteers place wreaths on the graves of veterans at participating cemeteries. Omnitracs pledged $25,000 toward the purchase of 2,500 wreaths and supported its employees who volunteered their time on "Wreaths Across America Day." More than 2,000 J.B. Hunt employees also participated in the event, including 42 drivers who transported the wreaths from Harrington, Maine, to their final destinations using 16 military-themed semi tractors.
