We Believe in Giving Back and Helping Others
Jax Transport, LLC is blessed because of all of the charitable organizations we are involved with. We strive to help others whenever they’re in need. Passing our fortunes forward is one of our core principles at Jax and remains part of who we are as a company. You can see some of our efforts at Jax below. Feel free to contact us if you want to help contribute to the causes that are meaningful to the Jax family.
Snack Pak 4 Kids
Dyron and Kelly Howell discovered more than 3,200 children in the Amarillo Independent School District relied only on the meals served to them at school for their weekly food. That meant hundreds of children spent their nights and weekends hungry.
Determined to find a way to address this need, the Howells assembled 10 bags of food that could be prepared without adult supervision. On Friday, September 3, 2010, the first 10 SP4K recipients received a bag containing enough food to get them through the weekend.
Today, the program has grown to serve more than 10,000 kids in 51 school districts.
Jax is proud to donate over $100,000 annually to help support this great cause.
Additionally, $163,600 was raised by our local beef and dairy community at the Beef 4 Kids Classic golf tournament hosted by Texas Cattle Feeders Association in 2019. 100% of this money will go towards making sure the kids we serve have access to 5 pounds of beef protein in their Snack Paks this year.
Thanks also goes to Tyson Foods, Baptist Community Services, Friona Industries LP, Hi-Pro, Caviness Beef Packers, Cargill, Cactus Feeders, Micro Technologies, BSA Care Xpress, Kemin, and Champion Feeders.
Casas por Cristo
Casas por Cristo, which is headquartered in El Paso, Texas, exists to open the door for local pastors and churches to share the love of Jesus Christ by serving. Their missions of “build and serve” is achieved by building homes for families in need.
They began building homes along the U.S./Mexico border in 1993, and have since expanded to Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, San Raymundo, Guatemala, Santiago, Dominican Republic, and Chinandega Nicaragua. To date, they have provided over 6,000 families with homes.
Jax Transport has committed to donating $100,000 in 2023 to pay for the construction costs of ten homes for families in need. Additionally, members of our staff and our drivers will be joining in on the construction of these homes!
ChOSEN Eye Mission
ChOSEN Eye Mission provides first world eye surgery free of cost to the blind and visually impaired in developing nations. ChOSEN has provided life changing eye surgeries for over 15,000 people through medical missions using the best and latest surgical techniques and equipment.
Our CEO, Shane Redline, has contributed to this organization through monetary donations as well as flying surgeons to countries in need.
Hurricane Dorian Relief
Dorian was a monster, category 5 storm that hit the Bahamas. Damage from Hurricane Dorian is estimated to be North of $3 billion. this is approximately a forth of the island nation’s annual income.
Approximately 70 people have been reported killed by the storm with over 300 still missing. More importantly, nearly 30,000 people lost their homes or jobs; sometimes both.
Around 70,000 people were in need of lifesaving aid on the affected islands, said the top relief official for the United Nations, Mark Lowcock, speaking to reporters by phone from the Bahamas.
JAX Transport made available (5) 53’ refrigerated trailers, capable of holding 215,000 of supplies. These were filled and transported to Fort Lauderdale where they were shipped to the disaster ridden Bahamians.
The Hideaway Experience
There are so many issues in the world today that they often distract from the things married couples should be focusing on – such as their marriage. Hideaway helps couples focus on one of the most valuable assets they have in life – their relationship with each other.
Hideaway’s focus to help maintain and build healthy marriages and relationships is similar to our belief at Jax to build strong relationships with our drivers and our partners. These strong bonds are the important to all of us and is why we whole-heartedly support Hideaway’s mission.
Jax is proud to donate to Hideaway’s cause. We believe one more great relationship helps add to the good in this world that makes communities strong.
