Edge Logistics moves to help others as global disruption continues.

CHICAGO, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In an age of disruption and innovation, it is easy to lose sight of big things, like innocent and defenseless children trapped amid armed conflicts and war. In joining a global outpouring of solidarity and humanitarian aid, Edge Logistics has pledged to donate a portion of its proceeds in April to Save the Children, which is providing aid to Ukraine.
As a rapidly growing organization, Edge Logistics has enjoyed the freedoms and comforts of success, but there are many without overseas. Many of the drivers Edge Logistics works with are also of Ukrainian descent. Edge Logistics' work wouldn't be possible without those drivers who have such a personal stake in the ongoing conflict. Those hearts remind us daily that there are many in need, and Edge Logistics is making a move to give back.
"As we leave March, a month in which we celebrate Women's History and empowerment, it is time for business leaders and women from around the world to take action to help the defenseless children caught up in the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe," said Maria Callegari Kerr, Co-Founder and Chief Talent Officer at Edge Logistics. "History has repeatedly shown that solidarity can accomplish great things. That's why Edge Logistics will donate a share of its profits in April to the global organization Save the Children to help those affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict."
Will Kerr, Co-Founder and President of Edge Logistics, further explains how helping those in need is tightly aligned with Edge's mission to build a better freight management strategy.
"Everything we do as a company revolves around timeliness and attention to detail. We cannot continue that mission without recognizing those that need help in the direst of conditions," Kerr said. "We will work with Save the Children on the ground in Ukraine and donate a portion of our proceeds in April to this non-profit."
Edge Logistics continues to grow despite the war and other global supply chain disruptions of 2022. Jordan Lanyi, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, noted how that growth depends on staying mindful of others.
"Edge Logistics has enjoyed the perks of success and efficiency for years. Our continued growth and ability to deliver at greater than 99 percent proficiency is only one part of who we are as a company," Lanyi said. "We have partnered with Save the Children to help the next generation survive and thrive. That's especially true with the worsening conditions of Ukraine."
This month, you are welcome to join Edge Logistics in sharing your earnings or your time to help those caught in conflict, whether in Ukraine or in your local community. Help your neighbor and help one another. That's how anyone can make a difference. Edge Logistics will also be donating to several community-driven fundraisers and local refugee resettlement organizations such as, Ukraine Aid and Rebuilding Fund Inc, Chicago Public Art Group, Chicago Refugee Coalition, Ukrainian Cultural Center and more local charities.
