TQL Thanks and #Giving Efforts Across America
Total Quality Logistics offices are working to make a positive impact this holiday season, and proud to join the #GivingTuesday #UNselfie social media effort that is sweeping the Internet.
“As we grow our national footprint, we also are expanding our philanthropic activities,” said TQL Executive Vice President Kerry Byrne.
#GivingTuesday is a global day dedicated to giving back and creating a new tradition of generosity across the world. Volunteering has always been core to the TQL culture, focusing its social investments on children, education, and the health.
“Our employees enjoy participating in volunteer efforts that reflect the company’s team spirit and high-energy culture,” said Byrne.
Throughout the months of November and December, TQL teams are lending their hands to local organizations throughout the country, bartending at fundraising events, collecting canned goods for local food pantries, and even arranging meal deliveries to the needy on Thanksgiving Day.
