Carrier Transicold recently gifted a Supra 960 truck refrigeration unit to Three Square Food Bank in Southern Nevada. The grant is funded by both Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies Corp., to aid food banks within the Feeding America network.
“Carrier Transicold’s contribution is helping to make a real difference in the lives of hungry families and our neighbours in need,” said Brian Burton, president and chief executive officer, Three Square. “The value of the Supra unit is equal to the cost of more than 51,000 meals we serve to those who need them most, and we are incredibly grateful for this support.”
CT Power, a Carrier Transicold dealer in North Las Vegas, handled the installation onto the 24-foot box truck.
Kelly Hunt, operations manager, CT Power, Las Vegas, said “Three Square does a tremendous amount of good for the community, and we are so proud that CT Power has been able to help the organization in fulfilling its mission. This was definitely a great experience for us.”
Since 2017, Carrier Transicold’s grant program for Feeding America has funded nearly $300,000 worth of equipment and installation of truck and trailer refrigeration units for individual food banks.
“Our cold-chain technologies help preserve, protect and deliver the world’s food supply,” said Jon Shaw, director, global communications & sustainability, Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration Systems. “In supporting Feeding America and its network members, such as Three Square, we are also helping to get nutritious and healthy perishable food to those most in need here in the United States.”
