READING, Pa., June 3, 2010 – Penske Truck Rental will again team up with NBC's "Today" Show for its annual Lend a Hand charitable outreach series that will be held this coming June 21-25.

"In these tough economic times, charities need more help than ever to assist people in need," stated Penske's Jim Feenstra, Senior Vice President – Marketing. "We're glad to be able to team up with Al Roker and the "Today" Show in giving back to our communities."
