"The generous community of people in the trucking industry have always been the first to step forward when help is needed. Now you can donate time, money or even transportation to a Texas based nonprofit. Texas Aid Network provides one source to allow you to give what you can to support the needs of charities who wil...l benefit from your donation." - Ellen Voie, President/CEO of Women In Trucking, Inc.

Texas Aid Network Connects Relief Organizations with Transportation Providers
The Texas Aid Network, a program produced by the nonprofit group, NPower Texas, has launched an improved website where Texas-based nonprofits can search for donated goods and transportation providers to ship those goods to needed destinations.
The previous site will connect more than 2,000 Texas nonprofits, such as food banks and disaster relief organizations, with donors, and hopes to move 8 million pounds of donated goods by the end of 2011.
The redesigned site also hopes to benefit transportation partners by providing a platform where trucking professionals can search and bid for nonprofits' shipping jobs and provide donated or discounted loads. The web-based service allows transportation providers to specifically search for jobs in cities where they would otherwise move empty or incomplete truckloads at a financial loss.
