TQL salutes troops through Military Month campaign in May
Annual tribute program yielded donations, care packages
CINCINNATI (May 30, 2024) — Cincinnati, OH (June 1, 2024) — Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the second-largest freight brokerage in North America and one of the largest global third-party logistics firms, donated $35,276 to a military charity and assembled 4,000 care packages for the troops as part of its Military Month campaign.
The annual May endeavor featured TQL’s 16th edition of Hauls for Heroes. Through this program, TQL made a financial pledge for every load moved from May 13-19 and donated the funds to Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
TQL team members also assembled military care packages during a Helpy Hour, a happy hour with a charitable twist, at Cincinnati headquarters May 30.
Prior to the Helpy Hour, TQL invited customers, carriers, friends, family and the public to thank soldiers and their families with digitally created free care packages. TQL printed their personalized messages, purchased the contents (toothbrushes, washcloths, soap bars, razors, mouthwash bottles, combs, chips and granola bars) and boxed the packages for distribution to veterans during natural disasters.
Together with employees, customers, carriers and the public, TQL has donated more than $474,076 and 23,500 care packages to active military and veterans since 2009.
TQL’s other Military Month initiatives included inviting employees to honor troops on a Military Tribute Wall at headquarters and lighting the building exterior with patriotic colors throughout May.
The company’s commitment to the military extends year-round and includes an Employee Resource Group called Veteran Employees Targeting Success (VETS).
