Your company can help Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico recover from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
As residents of Texas, Florida, and now Puerto Rico, continue to struggle with the destruction wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, IHA is partnering once again with Good360 to provide hurricane victims with home products as they rebuild their lives and homes. Twelve years ago, IHA partnered with Good360 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and the housewares industry responded with a generous heart to help New Orleans recover.
We’re pleased to partner with Good360 and leverage the generosity of the housewares industry to help make a difference for thousands of hurricane victims,” said Phil Brandl, IHA president & CEO. “Good360 is an organization with an impeccable track record of distributing needed products in a well-managed and structured way. Their corporate partners in disaster recovery include Walmart, Crate & Barrel, Restoration Hardware, CVS and UPS.”
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in Texas approximately 450,000 people need assistance, and more than 30,000 residents have been displaced from their homes. In Florida, the numbers are more staggering. Now Puerto Rico is also left in a state of devastation.
