LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - For nearly two decades now, the Allen Lund Company (ALC) has supported Navidad en el Barrio during the holiday season. This year was no different, as the company has teamed up with amazing donors to provide food to families this Christmas.

"It is the most wonderful time of the year- and we are once again blessed to be a part of the wonderful Navidad en el Barrio project. ALC stepped up again and helped coordinate 17 truckloads of donated food to help feed 13,000 families,” said Kenny Lund, Executive Vice President of ALC. “I am so proud of all our employees and vendors who helped in so many ways in this project that helps so many in need. Merry Christmas indeed!"

Navidad en el Barrio was started by former NFL player, Danny Villanueva, local Hispanic radio, and students from UCLA, a release explained. This year, ALC offices, departments, and employees participated in Acts of Kindness by volunteering to secure dry goods, produce, and perishables, as well as assist with the transportation of the goods to California for distribution via Navidad en el Barrio.

Individuals from ALC Los Angeles, ALC San Francisco, ALC Dallas, ALC Phoenix, ALC Denver, TMS, the Accounting department, the CSC department, the Carrier Resources department, and the Marketing & Communications department donated their time and energy to aid in the effort.

"Every year, we look forward to working with Navidad en el Barrio to collect, organize, and distribute groceries for families to make a healthy Christmas dinner. We also rely on our network of truck drivers to move the donations,” commented Nora Trueblood, Director of Marketing at ALC.

Some of this year’s partners include Costco, Grimmway Farms, Mission Produce™, Taylor Farms, Wonderful Citrus, and many more.
