MANASSAS, Va. – Kloke Group, an agent of United Van Lines, recently took helped with two major community charitable efforts in Prince William County, Va.

On Nov. 17, Kloke helped with the area’s largest food drive, conducted by the local Boy Scouts. For that drive, which Kloke has supported for several years, the Boy Scouts delivered bags all over the area, encouraging people to fill them with canned goods and boxed food items. The bags then were collected by the Scouts and packed in boxes and loaded on skids. Kloke provided the moving trucks and drivers that helped deliver the goods from local schools to the SERVE Food Closet. Nearly 20,000 tons pounds of food were collected and will keep the SERVE stocked for more than four months.

For the second drive, held Nov. 22, Kloke donated the transportation and use of a 53-foot trailer to SERVE for their use in storing toys collected for underprivileged families during for the holiday season.

"We know that the people of our community are generous and want to help,” said Larry Peterman, vice president of Kloke Group. “We were honored to be able to help make their generosity possible by getting the food to the people who need it during this busy time of year.”

SERVE, Inc. is a non-profit community organization dedicated to strengthening the Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park community through comprehensive programs and partnerships that provide basic needs and promote economic independence for homeless and underprivileged individuals and families.
