Suddath Participates in Mister Rogers’ Sweater Drive

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Nov. 2, 2020) – Suddath^®, a leading global transportation, relocation and logistics company, is proud to once again participate in the annual Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive. Together with WJCT, Vystar Credit Union and the Tom Bush Family of Dealerships, Suddath will collect gently-used sweaters and other winter apparel to be donated to area nonprofit organizations including the Clara White Mission, the City Rescue Mission and the Sulzbacher Center, in addition to many other community service organizations in North Florida.

Suddath will use its moving trucks to collect donated items, then bring them back to its Jacksonville warehouse for sorting, before delivering them to participating nonprofits.

“Last year, Suddath added ‘Caring’ as one of our core values, which honors our tradition of philanthropy and giving back to the communities where we operate,” said Scott Perry, president of Suddath Moving and Logistics. “We’re particularly grateful to participate in the Sweater Drive this year, when extraordinary circumstances have unfortunately left many of members of our community disadvantaged.”

This is the 18^th year for the Sweater Drive, which was created to honor the memory of television host and producer Fred Rogers by giving back to the local First Coast “neighborhood”. In 2019, the event collected over 15,000 sweaters, jackets, blankets, socks and other cold-weather items for community members in need.

“WJCT is proud to honor the legacy of Fred Rogers with the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive,” explained David McGowan, president and CEO of WJCT Public Media. “We are committed to helping our neighbors and rallying behind the community to donate a sweater or jacket in support of those affected most by these unprecedented times.”

This year’s event runs November 1-30 and donations can be made at participating locations below. For more information, please visit wjct.org/events/sweaterdrive/.
