Truckers for Tots: Supporting Minnesota & Wisconsin Communities

Truckers for Tots is a holiday campaign that supports children and families in need across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Ascendance Truck Centers, along with transportation partners and community members, actively participate by collecting and donating toys and funds to local Toys for Tots and Salvation Army programs. This initiative embodies the trucking industry's spirit of hard work and generosity, ensuring brighter Christmases for many.

A Regional Efforts with a Local Impact

Throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin, our teams proudly filled cart after cart with toys destined for local children’s charities, including Toys for Tots programs, county-based holiday organizations, and Salvation Army partners. Each toy represented more than a gift, it symbolized hope, kindness, and the belief that every child deserves joy during the holidays.


Our Truckers for Tots events brought together Ascendance Truck Centers employees alongside valued transportation partners, all united by a commitment to giving back. Even when facing bitter cold or winter storms, the enthusiasm never faded. Laughter echoed through store aisles, orange shirts stood out against winter coats, and the spirit of the season was unmistakable.

Kick Off the Season with Generosity

The 2025 Truckers for Tots campaign began with strong momentum and that energy carried through every stop, reinforcing the importance of community-focused partnerships and regional support throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. In total, the program donated thousands of dollars of toys to local community programs across Minnesota and Wisconsin. 

Thank You to Partners & Supporters

Truckers for Tots would not be possible without the continued support of our transportation partners, donors, Fleet Farm locations, and Ascendance Truck Centers team members across the region who give their time and resources year after year. Your dedication helps ensure that families across Minnesota and Wisconsin feel supported during the holiday season.


As the campaign continues to grow, so does its impact—reaching more children, strengthening more communities, and reminding us all why giving back matters. At Ascendance Truck Centers, we’re proud to support the communities where our customers, employees, and partners live and work. Truckers for Tots is just one of the many ways we stay committed to being a community-driven organization throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
