imageWhile Santa and his reindeer rest up for the big night, drivers and staff from Lodwick have been busy filling up with toys. Lodwick Transport drivers, Irene King and Paul McGinn took their day off to deliver the toys to sick children’s hospital in the way they know best, by transport truck. Everyone at Lodwick Transport, did such an awesome job of collecting toys for Sick Kids Hospital. Lodwick is known for hauling refrigerated products through 48 States, Not many know about the wonderful drivers and staff that work there.

Drivers were challenging each other to use up their points collected from fuel purchases. This challenge was met head on by Al Cripps and wife Coreen with the bags loaded with gifts they brought in after using their 250 points.

“It is just a matter of just doing something nice for no reason other to ensure children are able to enjoy a Christmas although they are not able to be home for the holidays. We just wanted to pay it forward,” said Al & Coreen
We are not sure the exact number of toys that were collected, but we can tell by the bags that there was a fair amount for the short time the drive was in effect. Next year drivers say they want to start earlier.

We look forward to the next challenge for charity. We will keep everyone posted on what Lodwick Transport is up to next. You can also find out by following us on Facebook.

See you there!
