2024 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Liberty Cares Inaugural Golf Tournament 29 This year, Liberty Tire Recycling partnered with Blessings in a Backpack to combat childhood hunger. This collaboration was inspired by a company-wide survey revealing employees' strong desire to support charities focused on children and hunger relief—two causes central to Blessings in a Backpack's mission. The nonprofit mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide weekend meals for school-aged children across America who face food insecurity through discretely providing meals to students in their backpacks. To support this initiative, we hosted our inaugural Liberty Cares Charity Golf Tournament, bringing together suppliers, supporters, and employees. Through sponsorships and participation, the event successfully raised over $87,000 for Blessings in a Backpack. Half of the proceeds were allocated to the nonprofit's strategic growth, enhancing its capacity to reach more children in need. The remaining funds were used to purchase and transport food for six packing events held at Liberty facilities, where employees came together to assemble a total of 5,250 weekend meal bags for children.

During these sessions, employees wrote child-friendly, encouraging notes to include in the backpacks, adding a personal touch to brighten students' weekends. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to community engagement and making a meaningful difference in the lives of children facing food insecurity. SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES
