Excitement was building as staff, board members, volunteers and representatives from International Truck and Engine Corporation, a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation, based in Warrenville, Illinois, were on site to donate a International® model 4300 medium duty truck with a 24 foot van body and lift gate to Sharing Connections - which replaces a much worn 1998 truck.

Leeanne McGrath, Sharing Connections' Founder, was presented with the keys to the new vehicle by David J. Johanneson, Group Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Distribution and Jim G. Krzmarzick, Manager, Network Expansion with International Truck and Engine Corporation. Sharing Connections will use the truck donated by International to transport furniture items from donor's homes to our warehouse in Downers Grove. These goods are ultimately passed on to families and individuals in need throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

Volunteer Dennis Webb, Dave Cain (volunteer and Board Member) and Tom Hough (volunteer and Board Member ) led the way in building this relationship and helped secure the much needed vehicle. This truck replaces our previous truck that was 4 feet shorter in length, 1 foot shorter in width and 2 feet shorter in height. With the additional space, Sharing Connections will be able to fit more donated furniture items during our weekly pickups and distribute them to families in need.
