Last week, the General Motors Foundation announced that it has donated 30 GMC trucks to the Haitian relief effort in the aftermath of the January 12 earthquake that ravaged the island nation.

The U.S. auto giant is also contributing $100,000 cash and an additional $250,000 that was raised through the auction of a limited-edition Chevrolet Corvette at the 39th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction. All donations have been presented to the American Red Cross.

The first two GMC trucks to be donated arrived in Miami in time for the Super Bowl and were present at the NFL Little Haiti Outreach Event held at the Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center.

“Immediate needs in Haiti include basic supplies and reliable transportation that can handle rugged and mountainous terrain,” said GM Foundation Chairman John Montford.

“We believe the donation of 30 GMC trucks can have an immediate and beneficial impact on relief efforts in Haiti,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Penske Corporation recently announced that they have donated more than $1 million worth of diesel-fueled flatbed trucks to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund for delivering food and lifesaving supplies to the people of the Caribbean nation.
