A long-time fixture on the list of charitable works delivered by truckers is once again in search of a new home.

The annual Mother's Day truck convoy to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation in southeastern Pennsylvania must find a new location for its 2027 event. 

After many years at the Burle Business Park in Lancaster, the annual fund-raising convoy was forced to move, landing at the Manheim Auto Auction facility. Now, after seven years there, convoy organizers are once again looking for a location that can accommodate numerous trucks and a variety of other activities for the event.

Cox Automotive, which owns the 500-acre auto auction facility, told Lancasteronline.com that "logistical issues" led to preventing it from hosting the convoy next year.

The convoy has raised some $10 million since 1990 for the Make-A-Wish of Philadelphia, Northern Delaware and Susquehanna Valley.

It also seems as though the organization expects to downsize the convoy to no more than 125 trucks, according to Lancasteronline.com.
