Each holiday season, Truckers for Tots brings together trucking professionals, local partners, and community members across Minnesota and Wisconsin with one shared goal: helping make Christmas morning brighter for children and families in need. This annual campaign reflects the heart of the trucking industry—hard work, generosity, and showing up for the communities we serve.

Despite cold temperatures, snow, and even blizzard conditions, Ascendance Truck Centers teams and transportation partners came together once again to turn generosity into action. From Fleet Farm aisles filled with carts of toys to donations delivered directly to local Toys for Tots and Salvation Army programs, the impact was felt across the Upper Midwest

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.

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. 

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.
