Recent studies have shown that a strikingly large percentage of truckers suffer from serious health conditions. One report suggests more than 70% of the estimated 3.5 million truck drivers in the U.S. have at least one “serious health problem,” ranging from obesity to diabetes to heart disease.
The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) is a 501(c)(3), truck driver charity that helps over-the-road semi-truck drivers and their families when an illness or injury that occurred within the last year has caused them to be out of work. The SCF is also working to provide programs that will benefit professional drivers and the trucking industry.
SCF has provided aid to nearly 4,000 truckers and spent over $4.5 million for those carriers.
