Thursday, November 14th, 2024
Builders' donation of $100,000 will support humanitarian relief efforts for those impacted by the devastation from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This contribution will be directed toward a select group of nonprofit organizations dedicated to providing immediate aid and long-term recovery for impacted communities.
"Numerous communities have suffered from these devastating hurricanes, including many people in my hometown of Boone, NC," said Todd Campbell, President & CEO of Builders. "With our donation, Builders joins countless businesses, organizations and individuals across the nation in helping communities recover and rebuild. It's encouraging to see so many — especially those in the business community — come together in compassion to provide vital assistance."
The selected nonprofit organizations each play a critical role in disaster response and equitable recovery efforts. These funds will help provide essential services such as emergency shelter, food, medical care, housing and rebuilding. The donation is split evenly among the following organizations:
-
World Central Kitchen, the nonprofit known to be first to the frontlines of a disaster to cook and provide meals to people in need.
-
North Carolina Disaster Relief, which provides for immediate unmet needs through reimbursements to nonprofits working with disaster survivors.
-
Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund, which leverages resources to increase effectiveness of contributions to communities.
-
Volunteer Florida Foundation – Florida Disaster Fund, supporting response and recovery activities for Florida's communities.
-
Greater Lansing (NC) Area Development, which assists recovery and rebuilding efforts in Lansing, an area heavily damaged by flooding during Hurricane Helene.
In addition to Builders' $100,000 donation, the company is matching employee donations to any hurricane disaster recovery efforts.
