(November 14, 2024) Milwaukee, WI – At Midwest Refrigerated Services, community is at the heart of everything we do. Recently, we had the privilege of helping transport 25 pallets of donated supplies from Chicago to families in Florida impacted by Hurricane Milton. This initiative, led by Colleen Christman and supported by the generosity of Sport Clips clients and community members across Illinois and Wisconsin, filled a critical need for essentials like clothes, baby items, food, and personal care products. 

Our Midwest values guide us in serving both our customers and our communities. When Colleen reached out, we didn’t hesitate. We donated a semitruck and driver to help ensure these supplies made their way safely to Metropolitan Ministries in Tampa. This incredible organization is working tirelessly to distribute the items to families facing hardship—many of whom are seeking help for the first time after losing everything in the storm. 

For us, stepping in to support this effort wasn’t just about providing logistics; it was about living our values and acting on our commitment to our communities. We’re honored to play a small role in a larger mission of support and resilience. As we continue to grow as a company, we remain dedicated to lending a helping hand where it’s needed most, especially during times of crisis. 

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and a special thanks to Colleen and Sport Clips for sparking such an impactful effort. Together, we make a difference—one delivery at a time.
