Thermo King presents inaugural Community Impact Award to recognize dealership volunteerism and leadership

Thermo King recently presented its first-ever Community Impact Award to three dealerships in the Americas for community involvement, volunteerism, and local leadership. The company, which is the transport refrigeration brand of Trane Technologies and creator of the We Move Food program, recognized Thermo King Salinas, Thermo King of the Southeast, and Videfrigo during its annual dealer principal meeting.

More than 50 nominations were submitted for the award, highlighting hundreds of volunteer hours, broad community partnerships, and thousands of dollars in charitable contributions. 

Community Impact Award winners:

• Videfrigo (Brazil): Supported schools, daycare centers, and cancer treatment organizations, with a focus on youth development and community well-being.
• Thermo King of the Southeast (U.S.): Logged more than 160 volunteer hours and supported food banks, veterans, youth programs, and law enforcement organizations.
