Stärke Material Handling Group, in cooperation with its
independent dealership network, began giving back to communities throughout
North America with a new charitable initiative known as Stärke Kids and
Communities. The initiative aims to
provide support and resources to those in greatest need of assistance including
vulnerable groups, such as underprivileged children and families, by
contributing a portion of its proceeds from equipment sales to support the
charitable contributions of its dealership network.
Among the first dealers to join the initiative was Lucas
Liftruck Service Ltd., a local Stärke dealership based out of the Niagara
Region in Southern Ontario, Canada. In
cooperation with Stärke, Lucas raised an excess of $6,000 to donate to local
charities, with most of the funds coming from employee payroll deductions, company
donations from equipment sales and fundraising efforts for local charity
events.
The primary beneficiary of Lucas’s fundraising has been a
local charity in the Niagara Region by the name of Start Me Up Niagara, which works to
combat poverty and homeless that result from disabilities, poor health and
isolation. Specifically, Lucas
Liftruck’s recently fundraised over $3,700 for the Coldest Night of the Year
Walk in an effort to support the homeless in the Niagara Region, Ontario.
Other donations were made to Education Foundation of
Niagara, a charitable organization which provides support and assistance to
DSBN students wherever government funding in unavailable or insufficient. Areas
of support include providing financial assistance and developing progressive
educational programs and services.
