From Sept. 11 to 15, Felling Trailers Inc. will conduct its 11th annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Pockets of Hope is the 2023 recipient. 

Every day, children are rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. These children are confused, scared and desperate for security and comfort after being separated from family, home and possessions. Pockets of Hope provides children, teenagers and young adults with comfort items they can call their own as they enter foster care. These are everyday items that many of us take for granted such as pajamas, shampoo, a toothbrush and more. For the recipients, it’s more than a backpack; it represents hope and comfort that there are people who care.

Felling Trailers says it wants to help generate awareness about Pockets of Hope, the work they do, the children they serve and the hope and security their backpacks provide to children. That’s why Felling Trailers manufactured and painted one of its most popular trailers "Hope Blue" with custom green pinstriping, bearing the Pockets of Hope emblem. 

Several Felling Trailers suppliers have joined to support Pockets of Hope by sponsoring the trailer build, from lighting to tires to decking. The 2023 Trailer for a Cause sponsors are Trans-Texas, PPG, Dexter, Sealco, Peterson, Industrial Wood (Blackwood), Demco and Pacific Rim. One hundred percent of the winning bid will benefit Pockets of Hope, according
to organizers.

The online auction can be viewed here. Arrangements are to be made for pickup at Felling Trailers' manufacturing facility or delivery (freight extra).
