Jevic Transportation Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SCS Transportation, will partner with local Philadelphia radio station B101, TV affiliate NBC10, and the Salvation Army for the 9th annual “Stockings for Kids” fundraiser.

As the program’s official motor carrier for a third year, New Jersey-based Jevic will pick up toys from designated drop-off locations and deliver them to the Salvation Army for distribution to underprivileged children in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas in time for the holidays.
“Jevic is the true backbone of Stockings for Kids,” said B101 event manager Tim Davis. “Without their tireless efforts over the past three years, the program could not have experienced as much growth as it has. Everyone at Jevic should feel like Santa Claus because together, we help make the holidays a brighter time for thousands of kids across the Delaware Valley.”
B101 launched “Stockings for Kids” in 1996 as a school-focused fundraiser. The station distributed empty stockings to Philadelphia-area schools, asking students to help fill the stockings with new toys for needy local children.
That first year, thousands of children, parents and teachers contributed more than 15,000 stockings, totaling $160,000 in donations. Since then, “Stockings for Kids” has generated more than $5 million in toys and donations, and has grown into a movement that includes thousands of individuals, schools, corporations and community groups.
The organization’s goal this year is to collect over 75,000 toys and stockings or approximately $1.5 million.
