Joyce Brenny and Joe Lynch discuss charity champions: specialized trucking and a mission. Joyce is the CEO & Founder of Brenny Transportation, a Minnesota based trucking company that specializes in the transportation of large, heavy, and bulky items that necessitate specialized handling, equipment, and permits. Summary: Charity Champions: Specialized Trucking and a Mission In this podcast, we explore the world of specialized trucking with Joyce Brenny, CEO and founder of Brenny Transportation, and discuss her role as president of the St. Christopher's Trucker Relief and Development Fund. Brenny shares insights into her Minnesota-based company, which hauls unique freight like granite for the Smithsonian and steel bases for windmills, and how they support their drivers through transparent lease purchase programs and customized trucks. We also delve into the mission of the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, which provides medical and psychological support to truck drivers in need and promotes initiatives to improve driver health and wellness. Throughout the podcast, Brenny emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and empowering environment for truck drivers and showcases her commitment to improving the trucking industry. #TMSAElevate #BrennyTransportation #StChristopherTruckersFund About Joyce Brenny Joyce Brenny's trucking career began in 1981 behind the wheel of a semi-truck. She later transitioned to customer service, sales, and leadership roles, eventually founding Brenny Transportation, a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) in her hometown of St. Joseph, MN, in 1996. A tireless advocate for the industry, Joyce has held numerous leadership positions including the Minnesota Trucking Association Board (first woman trucker Chair), the American Trucking Associations' Safety Policy Committee, and the American Transportation Research Advisory Committee. Currently President of The St. Christopher's Trucker Relief & Development Fund, Joyce has also been recognized by Women In Trucking as a Top Place for Women to Work and Most Influential Woman in Trucking. Most recently, she was nominated for positions on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Policy Committee, Women of Trucking Advisory Board, and the American Trucking Association Executive Board of Directors. Complementing her extensive industry experience, Joyce holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Behavior and Behavior Psychology from the College of St. Scholastica. Driven by a personal mission to create a safe and welcoming work environment for women in trucking, Joyce champions the rights and respect for all professional truck drivers, believing her purpose is to improve the industry for those dedicated to this essential service. About Brenny Transporation Brenny Transportation was founded in 1996 because Joyce and Todd Brenny wanted to be part of a company that treated people with respect, a company which honored champion character, with a team driven to serve. Brenny's inception into the trucking world began in a very humble way: in a small rented office in Waite Park, MN with three employees and the power of a big idea. Joyce and Todd wanted to show the trucking world that providing Grand Champion Customer Service in an honest and ethical manner could lead to success, and it has. Brenny's growth has been adaptable to the needs of their customers. Brenny has grown because of their superior respect for their customers' needs, as well as honoring the hard work and dedication of their champion team members. Customers and team members never question if Brenny cares. They know that Brenny cares. There are many years of transportation knowledge and experience leading Brenny; experience you can count on. Joyce's career in transportation began in 1980 and Todd's began in 1988. Brenny's Vice President, Bonnie Supan began her career in transportation in 1994. You could say Joyce, Todd and Bonnie are transportation experts. Todd and Joyce both started their careers in transportation behind the wheel of a truck. Between Joyce, Todd and Bonnie they have performed most duties involved in the transportation industry. This expanded knowledge of transportation has helped Brenny secure a stable place in the trucking industry.

Randy and Dale sit down with Dr. Tim and Janice McCall of Restoration Gateway. Their mission is 700 acres of land in Northern Uganda. They work to restore peace and heal wounds among the vulnerable children and war-torn people in the area.About the Charity ChampionsThe ministry of Restoration Gateway started in 2004 when seven Ugandan men began meeting to pray under a tree on the land presently held by the project. Their prayer was that God would send someone to help restore all that the enemy had stolen in their land. God answered those prayers and issued a call to Dr. Tim and Janice McCall in early 2005 to move to Uganda. The first trip by the McCalls took place in May of 2005, and the land for the project was selected.

Randy sits down with the Executive Director of The Cove Heart of Texas, Kelly Atkinson. They talk about the youth homelessness epidemic across the country, and how The Cove is fighting it by providing a safe place for teens to thrive.Learn more about The Cove at: thecovewaco.orgLearn more about Charity Champions at: charitychampions.orgAbout The Cove - Heart of TexasAfter working as Homeless Liaison for Waco Independent School District for five years, Cheryl Pooler saw a huge problem. As she met with student after student who had been abused, abandoned, or kicked out of his or her home, she knew that they needed a safe place to go after the school bell rang each afternoon. She knew that these students deserved a chance to succeed and that the Waco community would not stand to see them fall through the cracks into chronic homelessness. Cheryl started researching best practices around the country and found that an after-school teen nurturing center was what Waco needed to ensure that these vulnerable students were empowered and equipped to graduate high school and achieve their goals. Cheryl reached out, and the community responded. In the summer of 2015, Cheryl Pooler and community volunteer Rosemary Townsend founded the Cove and formed the Board of Directors. The Cove is molded after the NEST in Georgetown, TX. In October 2016, The Cove began serving its first cohort of students. In the 2016-17 school year, The Cove served 61 individual students. This last year, we served 76, a nearly 25% increase. In their first year, The Cove saw 440 visits over 118 days of operation. In the 2017-18 school year, the nonprofit saw 1,359 visits over 138 days of operation.About the Charity Champions PodcastThe Charity Champions Podcast is co-hosted by Dale Smith, Director of Community Outreach for TFNB Your Bank For Life, and Randy Lane, CTO and VP of Marketing for 360 Solutions.

By working together through prevention, professional training and survivor advocacy, we’ve started to see communities activated to fight human trafficking.Headquartered in Waco, Texas, UnBound is made up of individual chapters around the United States and across the world working to see change in their own communities.

Dale and Randy sit down with Brett and Emily Mills of Jesus Said Love to talk about their work with commercial sex workers in several Texas cities. Their mission is to share the revolutionary love of Christ with people in the commercial sex industry by awakening hope and empowering change. Jesus Said Love became a Charity Champion in 2017.Jesus Said Love's annual fundraiser, Wild Torch, is April 23rd. Wild Torch is more than a fundraiser. The event brings together food, art, music, and dance in the historic Hippodrome Theater in Downtown Waco. More info about the event here.Jesus Said Love's story:Founded in 2003 by worship leaders Brett & Emily Mills, the Mills led worship for a conference focused on ministry to sex workers. Overwhelmed by stories from former exotic entertainers, Emily became burdened for the marginalized in Waco, the Mills' hometown. Within two weeks, the first Easter outreach extended the love of Jesus to women in the Waco sex industry. A small group of women ventured into two strip clubs, armed with gift bags filled with practical, high-quality gifts. The outreach was a success! In fact, each club manager extended an open invitation for JSL to return at any time. For the next few years, volunteers would return to the clubs bi-annually: at Christmas and Easter.In 2007, the Mills made the decision to bring this new ministry under the administration of their already-established worship ministry and nonprofit organization: Bartimaeus Ministries, Inc. The name Jesus Said Love was then adopted for this specific outreach program to women in the commercial sex industry. The burden was for the marginalized: those whom the church was not reaching because of ignorance or negligence. What began as a bi-annual outreach in Waco has now grown into a full time ministry of monthly club outreaches, social work assistance, education, awareness, medical education, childcare and nutritional advocacy in Waco, Dallas, Bryan/College Station, San Antonio, Temple/Killeen, Houston, and (launching soon) Tyler.About the Charity Champions Podcast:This podcast is produced by 360 Solutions and Randy Lane.
