December 19 2022 - 7:00AM
XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of
less-than-truckload transportation in North America, has
joined Elves & Morein surprising 1,400 children with the
gift of a new bicycle. This week’s holiday event in Akron marks
Elves & More’s final year of operation in Northeast Ohio, the
organization said.
Josephine Berisha, XPO’s chief human resources
officer, commented, “While it’s bittersweet to see this annual
tradition come to a close, we feel privileged to have helped Elves
& More bring joy to over 20,000 children throughout our 16-year
partnership. This grassroots volunteer effort has given our
employees the opportunity to change lives in their
communities.”
Tim House, co-founder of Elves & More of
Northeast Ohio, said, “XPO is a large part of our organization.
Without their volunteer services, we couldn’t have purchased as
many bikes this year, or managed to truck them to our selected
neighborhoods. XPO’s drivers have shown up year after year to help
us pull off this monumental surprise and deliver happiness, one
bike at a time.”
House also thanked XPO driver Joe Caliri for
introducing the company to Elves & More soon after the
non-profit was founded. Caliri, who was nationally recognized by
XPO in 2020 for driving three million accident-free miles, noted,
“I presented the idea of a partnership and the stars aligned. We’ve
taken care of the shipping all these years and our employees pitch
in to help assemble the bikes. The children see that they are not
forgotten.”
