1-800-TruckWreck Brings Holiday Cheer to Chicago with Three Days of Giveaways

About the Giveaways

1-800-TruckWreck is kicking off the holiday season in Chicago with three days of giveaways and community events. Starting today through November 16, the law firm will host a Turkey Giveaway, Grocery Giveaway, and Coat Giveaway at various locations across the city, bringing support to thousands of neighbors in this season of giving.
