(TORONTO: September 16, 2025) – Last week, a network of community-minded carriers and suppliers teamed up under the Trucks for Change (T4C) banner, to support Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region, demonstrating once again the trucking industry’s commitment to giving back. Over a three-day period, 30 volunteers from six partner organizations contributed their time, energy, and resources to help deconstruct a home, clearing the way for a future multi-home build that will provide safe, affordable housing for local families.
This marks the sixth year that T4C corporate teams have partnered with Habitat for Humanity in the Waterloo Region. The 2025 effort adds 180 volunteer hours, bringing T4C’s total contributions in the area to more than 2,000 hours.
“Habitat for Humanity events are always popular and a highlight for our T4C partners,” said Betsy Sharples, Executive Director of Trucks for Change. “This initiative is another example of the trucking sector’s deep-rooted commitment to supporting vulnerable Canadians in communities where we live and work — whether we’re delivering essential goods or rolling up our sleeves to help build brighter futures.”
Teams from The Erb Group, Kriska Transportation Group, Mill Creek Motor Freight, Northbridge Insurance, Tandet, and TransPro Freight Systems participated in the build under clear fall skies, gaining hands-on experience and making a meaningful impact in the community.
Habitat For Humanity’s home-building program empowers lower-income, working families by providing access to safe and affordable housing, helping to foster long-term strength, stability, and self-reliance.
