ATG started Haulin’ 4 Hunger in 2012, and since then, the effort has delivered more than 98,000 meals. The mission keeps expanding, thanks to the hands and horsepower of ATG employees, customers, and business partners.

“At ATG, we are committed to fighting food insecurity in our communities through our Haulin’ 4 Hunger program,” said Kevin G. Holmes, president, CEO, ATG. “Haulin’ 4 Hunger was built around the idea of coming together to give back, and we are grateful to our dedicated team members and partners who support us in this important mission.”

Fresh Turkey Meals Delivered in Convoy Style

On December 11, ATG crews will fire up two truck caravans loaded with 4,400 fresh turkey meals and all the holiday fixings. The deliveries will roll into eight community organizations throughout Worcester and nearby towns, including Boys and Girls Club of Worcester, Friendly House, Jeremiah’s Inn, Marlborough Community Cupboard, South Worcester Neighborhood Center, St. Anne’s Human Services, Veterans Inc., and Westborough Food Pantry. Drivers will hand off meals directly to each site, continuing a tradition many look forward to every year.

More Deliveries Through December

Between December 12 and 23, ATG will keep the wheels turning by sending thousands more meals to pantries near ATG dealerships across Southeastern and Western Massachusetts, along with locations in New Hampshire and Vermont. This round focuses on non-perishable items like canned chicken, stuffing, ramen, canned peas, and dessert packs. The donations will support Lancaster Food Pantry, LISTEN Food Pantry, Our Community Table, Our Place Drop-In Center, Our Daily Bread, and Seabrook Food Pantry. This quarter alone, the program will distribute more than 12,000 meals.

A Program That Keeps Growing

Now in its thirteenth year, Haulin’ 4 Hunger continues to widen its reach. ATG even launched its first fresh meal donation in New Hampshire this past June, delivering to a pantry near its Manchester location.

“The holidays are particularly challenging for those who are unsure where they will get their next meal,” said Sarah Harrington, director of marketing, ATG. “Continued support from our Haulin’ 4 Hunger donations makes a meaningful difference for local food pantries and the people they support.”

The effort is supported by a wide group of business partners, including Global Partners, Dennis K. Burke, UniBank, Cummins, G. Lopes Construction, Railers HC, and SelecTrucks of New England.

For truck drivers across the region, Haulin’ 4 Hunger is a reminder of what trucking communities do best. Put the miles in, show up when it counts, and help keep families fed during the toughest time of the year.
