MHI Offers Support for the Helene Storm Victims
Wednesday, October 2, 2024
The sights of Hurricane Helene's flooding, debris, and destruction are incredibly saddening, particularly when we consider the lives lost and those who are still missing or awaiting help. The road to recovery will be long and arduous, with an overwhelming amount of work ahead.
The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is actively responding to these needs as it has for over 19 years. To help support the relief efforts, the MHI Board of Governors has approved a resolution to provide a $200,000 donation to ALAN.
“It is hard to know where to even begin in the face of such massive devastation,” said John Paxton, MHI CEO. “We are confident that the donation to ALAN will get relief to those who need it as swiftly as possible.”
MHI encourages you to check in frequently for the latest updates and needs with ALAN. Or if you’d prefer, you can also make a donation to support our ongoing humanitarian efforts. Every dollar truly helps. You can also support by providing specifically requested material handling equipment. Please be on the lookout for additional material handling equipment donation needs that will come from the ALAN network.
In addition to ALAN, these organizations are also assisting with Helene victims.
