Southeastern Freight Lines Serves 5,954 Hours in 2017

January 29, 2018
No Comments

Southeastern Freight Lines, the leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, today announced its participation in 5,954 total hours of community service, during 82 total projects, in 2017 as part of the "Southeastern Serves" program.

Southeastern Serves is a program dedicated to giving back to communities across Southeastern's footprint by having associates of all levels get involved with providing for the less fortunate.

"We are fortunate enough to share our commitment of providing quality service not only to our customers but to less fortunate individuals throughout the communities we serve," said Mike Heaton, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Southeastern Freight Lines. "Through the Southeastern Serves program, we are able to strengthen the communities who support us year after year through giving back."

This year, 1,637 participants, including Southeastern associates and their friends and family members, volunteered in Southeastern Serves projects ranging from renovating houses for families in need, collecting food for the homeless, providing pizza parties for foster children and serving meals for victims of domestic abuse.

Most recently, account managers from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky joined Georgia Baptist Children's Home at their Palmetto, Georgia, campus to provide 12 families a refreshed living space. Across two apartment buildings, the team painted 25 doors and two laundry room floors, planted 30 pieces of shrubbery, pressure washed the exterior and spread mulch across multiple flower beds.

In Greenville, South Carolina, the Southeastern team filled two pickup trucks with food for children and house parents of Miracle Hill Children's Home.

Meanwhile, the Houston, Texas, sales team served a lunch and provided fellowship, to more than 200 women and children at The Star of Hope Women and Family Development Center.

"The commitment of Southeastern to support so many deserving organizations and individuals through the Southeastern Serves program is humbling. We look forward to the new community service projects that await us in 2018," said Heaton.

This is the sixth year for the Southeastern Serves program.
