Logisnext Pallet Trucks for Food Bank
Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Inc., a provider and manufacturer of material handling and innovative automation and fleet solutions, has reaffirmed its commitment to “Moving the World Forward” by donating two motorized Mitsubishi Forklift pallet trucks to the Houston Food Bank (HFB).
- As one of the largest food bank in the nation, HFB plays a vital role in distributing food to those in need across southeast Texas.
The donation event, held at the Houston Food Bank warehouse on November 4th, featured Logisnext President Ken Barina and HFB President / CEO Brian Greene.
Together, they recognized the importance of this partnership and the critical role both organizations play in supporting hunger relief efforts throughout Greater Houston.
These new pallet trucks will aid HFB in distributing more than 150 million nutritious meals annually to 18 counties in southeast Texas.
“We are deeply committed to supporting the Houston Food Bank in their mission to combat hunger in our community,” said Ken Barina, President, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas.
“By providing these pallet trucks, we aim to enhance their ability to distribute food more efficiently, ensuring that more families in need receive the help they deserve. It’s an honor to contribute to such a vital cause and the Houston Food Bank in their efforts to make a positive impact in Greater Houston.”
“Houston Food Bank provides more than 120 million nutritious meals annually to our 18-county coverage area, and all of this food flows in and out of our warehouse, making our equipment the workhorse that makes it possible,” says Greene.
“This generous donation from Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas is providing additional equipment to better and more efficiently serve our community. Thank you for helping us to further our mission of providing food for better lives.”
Earlier in the day, Logisnext employees actively supported Houston Food Bank by sorting food and packaging boxes.
Logisnext employees have a strong tradition of volunteerism, and their hands-on involvement highlights their commitment to actively driving positive change by fostering a culture of service and community engagement within the company.
