Barr-Nunn Driver Participates in Toys-for-Tots

South Bend, Indiana – December 14, 2007 – Barr-Nunn Transportation is a leader in the industry with great pay packages and award-winning programs. They have been in business for 25 years and know what drivers need. The company is always creating new ways to prove to drivers how much it values them and gives back to the community. For the passed few years, Barr-Nunn teamed up with the Marine Corps to assist in the delivery of toys for the Toys-For-Tots program.

Toys-for-Tots is a program run by the US Marine Corps Reserve and its mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November, & December each year. Volunteers from all over participate in this philanthropy in the spirit of the holidays. The toys are given out to underprivileged children in the community. A Company Driver for Barr-Nunn, Warren Travers, is a key part of this amazing story.

Barr-Nunn Transportation has partnered with the Marine Corps for the past few years. From advertising for Marine recruitment to volunteering one of their trucks, Barr-Nunn is always ready to give a helping hand. Barr-Nunn Company Driver Warren Travers has been involved in Toys-for-Tots for the past four years. This year, the program took place on Saturday, December 8th in South Bend, Indiana.

Warren drove a truck filled with toys to deliver. He originally got involved with Toys-for-Tots because his nephew is a Marine. It was an easy process – he contacted Barr-Nunn and the company immediately offered to use their truck. Though the previous years had been plagued with bad weather and tragic times, such as hurricane Katrina, this year went extremely smooth and was the most successful the program has been in a while. They collected over 10,000 toys for numerous children. The program this year took place in the parking lot of the NBC Channel 6 Team Studio.

Warren Travers offers his services out of the good of his heat. He understands that there are some people in the world, who aren’t as privileged as others, and he loves to help. When asked about his favorite part of the whole thing, he said, “This is a great way to give back to your local community.” He said during an interview “it’s the satisfaction of helping children out during the holiday season that motivates him.”

Mr. Travers is happy to help Barr-Nunn and the Marine Corp to give a helping hand. To learn more about Barr-Nunn’s assistance in helping your local community, details on this or any other event, and other award-winning programs Barr-Nunn offers, please visit their website at www.barr-nunn.com.
