Covenant Roofing and Construction Collects 2,627 Pounds of School Supplies in Record-Breaking Stuff the Truck Campaign
The company more than doubled its 1,000-pound goal and pledged to match donations at $1 per pound, officials said.
Covenant Roofing and Construction, Inc. earned first place as the top business contributor in the Education Foundation of Lake County's Core Tools for Schools Summer Supply Drive after collecting 2,627 pounds of school supplies through its Stuff the Truck campaign.
The Stuff the Truck campaign launched with a 1,000-pound goal, but Covenant rallied employees, customers, and community partners to more than double that target, supporting teachers who otherwise spend personal funds on classroom supplies.
Covenant committed to matching donations at $1 per pound, up to $1,000, while an anonymous donor contributed $1,000 in school supplies, bolstering efforts to stock Apple-Mart stores for Lake County educators.
The effort contributed to a record-breaking community-wide total of nearly 8,000 pounds of school supplies, demonstrating the impact of local businesses and residents collaborating to provide essential classroom materials.
Marketing Manager Cara Newby stated the campaign aligns with values guiding Covenant's work throughout Florida, with plans to continue supporting organizations that strengthen the communities it serves.
