(December 10, 2008 - Dallas) Total Transportation Services just completed their third annual Angel Tree Drive with outstanding support by their corporate staff located in Plano, Texas.
This year’s Angel Tree Drive was done in partnership with BentleyForbes Corporation in association with the Dallas Building Owners & Managers Association (BOMA). Please see below the various charities sponsored by BOMA. Cash donations were also provided to the Salvation Army to give registered families for grocery vouchers.
Employees contributed 64 gifts to include toys and clothing for twelve needy children, ranging in ages of six months to 17 years old. In addition, they received $140 for families to receive grocery vouchers to enjoy dinner with loved ones during the holidays.
“Thanks to our employees, we were able to fulfill the needs and wishes for those less fortunate and our Angels will be surprised to find Santa more than fulfilled their Wish List this year.” said Peggy Garrett, the RCC Committee Leader. “TTS is proud of our employees, who continually help those in need within our community and especially during this time of the year.” The Angel Tree Drive is part of the company’s Responsible Corporate Citizenship (RCC) Program, which is an ongoing company initiative designed to support others within the community.
