Allen Lund Co. Continue Its Partnership With Children's Hospital Los Angeles

La Cañada Flintridge Calif. – The Allen Lund Company (ALC) has had the privilege of working with many organizations to help out during this holiday season. ALC was able to continue its partnership with Children's Hospital Los Angeles by helping with Holidays From the Heart, a program that serves families of patients who are financially unable to provide for their family during the holiday season. ALC shopped for a family of eight to provide toys, clothing, and shoes. "We're proud to work with CHLA, which is one of the crown jewels of Los Angeles for organizations that serve L.A. County and beyond," Kenny Lund, VP of Support Operations stated. "CHLA has served the L.A. population and the Allen Lund Company well. We are proud to give back in a small way."

Another holiday volunteering opportunity ALC participated in was providing the trucking for a sea container destined for Hands Together in Haiti. The container held: an electric organ, 3 pianos, more than 50 musical instruments, equipment needed to set up a woodworking shop, new cabinets for tool storage, shoes and shirts, and life sustaining Liquid I.V. crystals. Mission Haiti Coordinator, Karl Holtsnider, stated, "your generous and unsung gift of trucking is helping many, many desperately poor people in a forgotten corner of the world. We cannot thank you enough!" Chris Clelland, Flatbed Division Manager, added "I am very proud that we are able to help this cause in our small way. It's very nice to work for a company that supports these kind of causes."
