Looking For A Truck Driving School That Gives?

How's this for giving!

The Holiday Season is upon us! It is a time when we all take pleasure in being with our family and friends, giving and receiving gifts (who doesn’t like gifts?), relishing good food, and enjoying the good feelings that we feel this time of year. Some of truck driving school students will be spending the holidays away from home and CR England and its employees will do everything they can to make the time spent at their facilities enjoyable.

With all the gift giving and receiving its important that we remember some people do not have these things to enjoy this year, and it is up to others to help lift them up.

We invite you once again to help people who are less fortunate than us. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own day-to-day troubles, we forget to be thankful for things that we do have. We take things for granted. We forget that some people are in much worse situations. With the economy still faltering and unemployment at record levels we expect major increases in the number of families seeking our help.


That is where This Years CR England Charity Drive comes in. This year CR England has chosen to help the Candy Cane Store this year. For those of you who are new to this, it works like this--parents who have applied for help and are qualified are given gift vouchers from the Candy Cane Store. The parents then use these vouchers to “purchase” items for their children from the Candy Cane Store. We can help the children by donating items to stock the store. Items that we are requesting are children’s toys, clothing, shoes, toiletries, learning aids, etc. Please bring the items new and unwrapped to one of the Christmas Charity 2009 volunteers.


We also hold a vendor raffle each year. Our vendors are kind enough each year to donate a variety of items for us to raffle off. The proceeds from this raffle go to the Primary Children’s Medical Center. We will also buy food items for the Road Home Shelter with some of our raffle money.

If your attending truck driving school or working for the company during this holiday season please be aware of the charity event that is going on.
