DECEMBER, 2011 - FALCON SUPPORTS BOTTOM-UP DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA THROUGH ABODE OF PEACE
At a time when Falcon Express Lines and its Indian affiliate Falcon Maritime India have engaged the Indian economy, developing a logistics network linking India's businesses with U.S. markets, the Falcon family recently had the opportunity to support the next generation of India's leaders at the local level.
For over 15 years, Abode of Peace has served as a shelter, a school and a family for children in the city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, India. Underprivileged children are offered an opportunity to learn, foster friendships with peers and live in a loving and caring environment. In a recent trip to India, one employee of a Falcon partner company visited Abode of Peace, delivering a generous donation on behalf of both companies.
Falcon remains proud of its tradition of philanthropic efforts that help support the communities that we live and work in. Those interested in supporting Abode of Peace can e-mail sheelabobby@yahoo.com.
DECEMBER, 2011 - FALCON CARES
In the spirit of the holiday season, employees of Falcon Express Lines loaded dozens of gifts aboatd Santa's 20' cube truck for LTL delivery. This, of course, was not a normal truckload. The gifts were part of Falcon's annual tradition of responding to "Dear Santa" letters from New Yorkers in need in cooperation with 'New York Cares' Winter Wishes' program.
"Every year we are so proud of how our team responds," commented Director of Business Development, Rich Shelala. "The holidays are a time for giving, and New York Cares does a phenomenal job of connecting children in need with generous 'secret Santas' in the five boroughs. We love our city, and are more than happy to help Santa in any way we can. Plus, what an honor to be such a part of Santa's logistics network!"
