Preparations are underway for Truma’s third annual Spring Clean-up event. This year, in an effort to draw more volunteers, the company is partnering with the Elkhart Parks and Recreation Department and the RV Women’s Alliance to tend to city parks.
From energy-efficient RV appliances to the solar panels on the roof of its buildings, Truma takes sustainability to heart, both as a company and as residents of the communities its employees work in. For the past two years, employees of the European RV appliance supplier have celebrated Earth Day by cleaning the stretch of Elkhart’s County Road 6 that is home to their North American headquarters.
“Our goal has always been for the Truma Spring Clean-up to grow year after year and become a community affair. Our team at Truma has grown, as has the interest from our RV industry partners. Now, we want to extend an invitation to our friends and neighbors in Elkhart to join us in giving back to the community that welcomed us so warmly 10 years ago,” said CEO Gerhard Hundsberger.
Volunteers will be cleaning up Island Park, Lundquist Park and the Elkhart River Walk on Saturday, April 22. The rain-or-shine event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, followed by a picnic luncheon at Island Park. Members of the community of all ages are welcome. Truma is also working with the Elkhart Environmental Center to have educational activities for children.
“As part of the RV community, we want to preserve the great outdoors for our children. Allowing them to get involved at an early age is a wonderful opportunity to teach the next generation about sustainability and conservation. We can all do our part,” said Hundsberger.
