Today Gretchen Seth and Julie Slomski (along with Laura Schaaf of the Barber Center) volunteered to sort and pack donations for Erie for Ukraine. Gretchen provided a first-hand account of the experience, along with the photos below.
“Once again, the support of ordinary people has been incredible! Someone dropped off four huge pallets of hand sanitizer wipes. One couple drove a packed Uhaul and SUV from Bradford, and they plan to do it again in two weeks.
We sorted and packed dozens of cartons of personal care items, medical supplies, food, and clothing. We probably built at least eight pallets, all at least 6’ high.
There was a steady stream of people dropping off items all afternoon.
As an added bonus, a Ukrainian lady brought eight loaves of paska fresh from the oven, which she served with jam and glasses of milk!
They are looking for volunteers for the next two Saturdays, so I hope we can enlist some Logistics Plus employees to join us.”
Last night, Logistics Plus hosted a fundraiser at The BrewErie at Union Station. It was a fun night filled with appetizers, brews, games, and giveaways (and a few Jell-O shots ?). By the end, we helped raise another $2,159 for Ukraine relief efforts?? (and we sold out all the Jell-O shots … thanks Yuriy)! Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed! https://lpukrainerelief.com/
The students at Erie Catholic School System’s six elementary schools made cards for Logistics Plus Ukraine employees and their families and many additional cards for other families in Ukraine. Bridget Philip, President of Erie Catholic School System, and Tami Faram, its Director of Strategic Advancement, had the honor of presenting the cards to Yuriy Ostapyak, Logistics Plus COO (who is from Ukraine). Logistics Plus will arrange air delivery of the cards to Poland and personally deliver them to refugee centers in Poland, Ukraine, and surrounding areas. Children and families in Ukraine will be comforted to know they have such strong support. Some of the kids even wrote their cards in Ukrainian! Special thank you to Erie News Now reporter Ethan Kibbe for being on hand to chronicle this fabulous gift of the heart.
Logistics Plus Named to Inc.’s 2021 Best in Business List
in the Logistics & Transportation Category
2nd annual list recognizes 196 private companies that put purpose before profit.
ERIE, PA (December 7, 2021) – Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been named to the Inc. 2021 Best in Business list. Logistics Plus was one of only four companies honored in the Logistics & Transportation category. Inc.’s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact.
The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 14), recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.
Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, “What began for us during the pandemic as an effort to showcase companies that were helping the community has grown into a recognition of social, environmental, and economic impact. The companies on this year’s list are changemakers with heart – and they’re pouring the best of their business into the people and communities around them.”
Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in more than 49 different industries – from finance to software to engineering to fashion, and more – and in age-based and revenue-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive, with around 2,700 entries and an acceptance rate in the low single digits – a huge success for these honors in the list’s second year.
“I am proud of our people and how they continue to adapt and grow in this challenging environment,” said Jim Berlin, Founder & CEO of Logistics Plus. “Doing the right thing with a passion for excellence has always been a part of our culture. Supplying PPE to organizations around the world during the onset of COVID, becoming one of the first 3PLs to attain plastic neutrality, investing in inner-city development – these are all important ways we can make a positive impact. I believe in Karma, and what comes around goes around. So, it’s an honor to receive an acknowledgment from the Inc. editorial staff that what we are doing is making a difference.”
The world’s most trusted business-media brand, Inc. offers entrepreneurs the knowledge, tools, connections, and community to build great companies. Its award-winning multiplatform content reaches more than 50 million people each month across various channels, including websites, newsletters, social media, podcasts, and print.

The global recognition that comes with inclusion in the Inc. 5000 allows these founders a chance to engage with their peers in an exclusive community with the credibility to help drive sales and recruit talent. The associated Inc. 5000 Conference is part of a highly acclaimed portfolio of bespoke events produced by Inc. For more information, visit http://www.inc.com.
