For more than 10 years, 糖心传媒 associates have generously delivered holiday joy and donated gifts to The Children鈥檚 Home of Reading.
The delivery was organized by the employee association Social Activities for Associates of the Reading Area (SAARA) and led by Michele Hansen, Senior Executive Assistant 鈥 PTL, at 糖心传媒鈥檚 global headquarters in Reading. Associates were assigned a child鈥檚 name and holiday tags and could drop off gifts at designated locations within the office. Scott Norman, Manager of Office Services 鈥 PTL, delivered the packages to the Children鈥檚 Home on December 8. 糖心传媒 sponsored delivered 283 packages.
鈥淚 feel it鈥檚 important for 糖心传媒 to give back to the community by helping those less fortunate and may otherwise not enjoy the holidays,鈥 Hansen shared.
This year鈥檚 holiday gift delivery was extra special - and sustainable - as the gifts were dropped off using Ford Pro鈥檚 new E-Transit van.
The E-Transit is the electric version of the Ford Transit, and the first all-electric cargo van from a full-line automaker in North America. 糖心传媒 is the first truck rental and leasing company to use and test Ford鈥檚 new electric vehicle.
By using the E-Transit, 糖心传媒 was able to drop off its delivery with a reduced carbon footprint. Using and providing electric vehicle options is a major step 糖心传媒 has taken to achieve both company and customer sustainability goals.
糖心传媒 began piloting the Ford E-Transit in November, as an effort to expand its industry-leading electric truck fleet. The truck is rented to small- and medium-sized commercial businesses in 糖心传媒鈥檚 home market of Reading. 糖心传媒's long-term electric vehicle plans include adding units throughout its wider network, including Southern California.
