Syfan Logistics was honored with the first-ever Humanitarian Award from the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce on November 20 at their Industry Appreciation Luncheon.
The Chamber’s Industry Appreciation Selection Committee created the award after witnessing Syfan Logistics’ Hurricane Helene relief efforts and made the company the inaugural winner.
“We are immensely proud to present the Humanitarian Award to Syfan Logistics,” said Kit Dunlap, President of the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce. “Their unwavering commitment to helping others and willingness to go above and beyond is truly commendable. They exemplify the spirit of compassion and selflessness that we value in our community.”
Syfan Logistics was honored for spearheading a community-driven initiative in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Recognizing the urgent need for assistance, the company swiftly mobilized its resources and rallied the community to provide much-needed supplies to affected areas in Georgia and North Carolina.
“The dedication and generosity of our community have made a significant impact on the affected areas,” said Steve Syfan, Syfan Logistics executive vice president. “We are blessed to live where people see a need and want to help. We are thankful for our Syfan team members who spent countless hours sorting supplies and loading them on trailers.”
As a central gathering point for donations, Syfan Logistics played a pivotal role in coordinating relief efforts. The company generously offered its fleet of trucks and dedicated drivers to transport a staggering 40 loads of essential supplies to 32 towns in the affected regions. The community’s generosity and Syfan’s organizing efforts ensured that vital resources reached those who needed them most, providing much-needed relief and support to the affected communities.
