Toys for Tots

Giving Back to Seafarers
Fracht Houston partnered with Schroder Marine Services, Houston International Seafarers Center & Cooper/Ports America to bring goods and supplies to seafarers at the Port of Houston. Due to COVID-19, these men were stranded on their vessels with no way to purchase goods such as phone cards, books and other items they would typically purchase while at port. Together with our partners, Fracht raised over $30,000 to-date, purchasing a wide range of goods for several crews.
BANDAZUL
At a local event in Houston, Fracht North America presented a donation of nearly $3,000 for BANDAZUL. BANDAZUL is a nonprofit organization created by a group of farmer classmates living all over the world. It was created in July of 2016 and its sole purpose is to educate and assist in improving the quality of life of individuals in Venezuela suffering from illnesses by offering knowledge and medical resources that enhance their self-care abilities. Thousands of children in Venezuela will receiving these donations, along with medication, first aid kits, diapers, baby formula and canned foods, totaling 34 boxes that will be shipped to Venezuela this week.
Ser Familia Event Sponsorship
The Fracht Atlanta team sponsored Saborea Atlanta, a cuisine tasting event in Atlanta, held by Ser Familia, a leading nonprofit organization that is dedicated to strengthening Latino families in Georgia.
Beach Cleanup
The Fracht family is proud to contribute to the efforts to eliminate such problems and work together as a team to maintain a healthy environment. Help Fracht turn the tide on ocean pollution and achieve the vision of a clean, healthy, and vibrant ocean for our future generations! .
Fracht Houston participated in a Adopt-The-Beach program at Galveston Island State Park to contribute to a healthier beach environment as well as demonstrate the importance of protecting and preserving Texas beaches.
As first timers, we learned that ocean pollution is a serious environmental problem that affects the health of people, endangers marine wildlife, and costs states and nations millions of dollars in wasted resources and lost revenue. Ocean pollution also complicates our shipping and transportation business by causing navigational hazards. At its core, however, ocean pollution is not an ocean problem; it is people problem.
Habitat for Humanity
We are happy to announce that the Houston office joined Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Harris County to give back to the community. The project involved a monetary donation and volunteers helping in construction of a family’s future home.
“It was a wonderful day of team building, bonding and making a Difference.” – Chris Schumacher, Fracht North America.
