‘Tis the Season to Be Jolly…and Give Back!

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Chelle Micklin

Driver Solutions, the leader in truck driver training, is trying to lead in other ways to serve the community.  We're doing things a little differently this holiday season. Instead of just helping out those in need in our own community, we’re helping those in need halfway around the world by holding a winter clothing drive. With the help of an organization called ServLife International, all donations that we receive from our employees will go to Northern India & Nepal to keep children & orphans a little warmer this winter. But Driver Solutions is still here to help out our own community…for every item of clothing donated, we’re donating $5 to Riley Kids, an organization we’ve supported over the years who helps children & families of children dealing with life debilitating conditions & diseases.

And during the holidays isn’t the only time Driver Solutions likes to help others. Throughout the year, we host at least 3 blood drives benefiting the Indiana Blood Center. And for each blood donor that participates, Driver Solutions makes a donation to another charitable organization, such as the Humane Society of Indianapolis & Riley Children’s Hospital. We also hold canned food drives to help out Gleaner’s Food Bank in Indianapolis from time to time. Also, a little something Driver Solutions does for its employees is a volunteer program where the employee is allowed 8 hours per year to participate in a volunteer event or activity of their choice & the company pays them to do it! So they basically get paid to go out and try to make a difference in our community.

Hear how some of our employees feel about working for a company like Driver Solutions & how it impacts them personally. (Don't make fun, but I'm in this video!!)

In the New Year, Driver Solutions hopes to be able to give more & reach others throughout our community & beyond, and we challenge everyone else out there to do the same. Also, if you know of a charity or a volunteer program that needs a little help, let us know! We’re always ready to help out those in need.
