Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates Rally’s Trucking Industry to Fight Hunger Through St. Mary’s Food Bank
St. Mary’s Food Bank benefits annually from group donations procreated by the efforts of Andy Ahern and his many colleagues within the transportation industry.
Phoenix, AZ, December 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Known for being the life blood of America, the trucking industry is well adept at transporting food across our nation. But thanks to the perennial efforts of Andy Ahern, CEO of trucking consulting firm Ahern & Associates, Ltd., the trucking industry annually delivers a very valuable payload to St. Mary’s Food Bank which helps fund their cause and provide food for the needy.
Leveraging his extensive list of contacts he’s built through the years, Ahern regularly solicits his colleagues to band together around the holiday season and provide much needed corporate funding to St. Mary’s Food Bank, the world’s first food bank. Ahern has singled out St. Mary’s Food Bank based on the fact that 90% of the aide provided goes to feed families with small children and the elderly. Additionally, for every $1.00 collected by St. Mary’s, .96 cents goes back into the community and ultimately equals $7.00 of food.
This year, Ahern has accumulated sizeable donations from companies like North American Transportation, LLC, Land-Link Traffic Systems, Benesch Law Firm, Lawrence Leasing Inc. and Stan Koch & Sons Transportation among others with donations rolling in weekly. Prior contributors include Paschal Truck Lines, Inc., Fenway Partners, Inc., American Transport, Inc., PGT Trucking and Hogan Transport, Inc. to name a few.
Ahern’s partners in transportation genuinely appreciate his efforts as does the food bank itself. “Andy has been a long time and tremendous supporter of the food bank. He not only makes regular personal contributions, but he continually encourages those in his business and personal networks to donate to St Mary’s. I wish we had many more donors with Andy’s personal commitment to taking care of the less fortunate,” explains Terry Shannon, President and CEO of St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.
Entering his second decade of service to St. Mary’s Food Bank, Ahern continues to be impressed with the philanthropic efforts of his colleagues. “Every year I call on my friends in the trucking industry to help this very worthy cause and am always amazed with their level of commitment to St. Mary’s.”
If interested in joining Mr. Ahern’s quest for the elimination of hunger in America, donations can be sent directly to St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance c/o Ahern & Associates.
