The organizations receiving funding include St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, The War Amps in Canada, and the Salvation Army. According to the company, these groups align with TruckPro’s ongoing mission to support causes that help children, veterans, and communities throughout North America.

“We are proud of our TruckPro Gives Back program and our ongoing partnerships with the worthy organizations we support and the important work they do,” said Chuck Broadus, chief executive officer of TruckPro. “Through this program, we are able to support efforts that make a difference, and we appreciate the continued support and donations from our team at TruckPro.”

The announcement was made internally during the company’s National Sales Summit and Supplier Tradeshow, which took place earlier this year at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. More than 230 regional and store managers from across the United States and Canada attended the gathering to connect and review the company’s primary goals and initiatives.

The event also included a tradeshow where over 75 suppliers presented their products and offered training sessions, demonstrations, and valuable insights to attendees.

TruckPro noted that its commitment to charitable work remains central to its company culture. This dedication encourages employees and supplier partners to participate in efforts that create lasting change for people in need.

The company currently operates more than 150 stores and advanced service shops throughout its distribution network.

Nebraska Trucking Steps Up for Hurricane Relief

Collaboration was at the heart of this initiative, as members of the Nebraska Trucking Association (NTA) joined forces with the Salvation Army to help communities impacted by the severe hurricanes in the Southeast.

“We looked into trying to collect donatable goods,” said Kent Grisham NTA president and CEO. “But after some research, it was clear that various service organizations in the southeast had well-established methods of collecting and distributing materials in areas hard-hit by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. So, we decided to partner with one of the most trusted and reliable service organizations in the world, the Salvation Army, to conduct a fundraising campaign.”

Women’s Council and Nebraska Trucking Cares Unite for Action

The fundraising campaign, which was spearheaded by the NTA’s Women’s Council, marked a departure from the Nebraska Trucking Cares Fund’s usual mission. Typically, the fund provides aid to employees of NTA members facing hardship, but the immediate and overwhelming needs of hurricane victims prompted the group to extend their reach.

“Nebraska is no stranger to the devastation caused by natural disasters,” Grisham explained. “This year alone, our state has endured destructive tornadoes, hailstorms, floods, and wildfires. That shared experience created a deep well of compassion and generosity among our members, inspiring them to help those suffering in the Southeast.”

A Ceremonial Gesture of Solidarity

The collaboration culminated in a ceremonial check presentation between NTA and Salvation Army leaders. The $5,000 contribution will support disaster relief operations that remain active in communities affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

“We are truly grateful for this outstanding support from the Nebraska Trucking Association via the Nebraska Trucking Cares Fund,” said Maj. Scott Shelbourn, commander of The Salvation Army Western Division. “The $5,000 donated by NTA members will make a big difference for Salvation Army disaster-relief operations that are still ongoing in the Southeast in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. It takes a team effort to help disaster-impacted communities recover, and we salute the NTA for being part of that team.”
