Perdue truckers and associates joined community volunteers on Saturday, Dec. 3 to renew a 37-year Operation Teddy Bear tradition to deliver a little holiday cheer to residents of the Holly Center, a state of Maryland residential facility for people with mental and physical disabilities. The event aligns with the company’s Delivering Hope To Our Neighbors outreach focused on improving quality of life and building strong communities.
Operation Teddy Bear enables Holly Center residents to take a ride in a big rig with one of Perdue’s professional truck drivers. The caravan of trucks, adorned with holiday decorations, navigates residents on an 11-mile loop in Wicomico County, beginning and ending at the Holly Center.
