Our 2019 Recap

In 2019, the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund hit the $3 Million milestone in providing assistance to over-the-road semi-truck drivers and their families in need and it was made possible by readers and sponsors like YOU. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many.

In 2019 alone, we provided $501,299 in assistance on behalf of 339 drivers.

Our health and wellness programs grew and achieved great things for those participants.

Since starting the vaccine voucher program in Fall of 2015, we have now provided 925 free vaccines for flu, shingles, and pneumonia.

Our Rigs Without Cigs program launched in September of 2018, and since then we have helped 93 drivers quit, and 76 drivers cut their tobacco use by more than half!
