HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Three local Alabama Home Depot stores are providing a total of 1,000 disaster relief kits for the victims of Hurricane Ida.
"Just know that we're all thinking of you," District HR Manager, Abbey Hall said. "This is a terrible thing to have to go through especially in the time of COVID, but Home Depot's got your back and we're going to help you get it done."
Two local Huntsville Home Depot stores assembled a total of 750 kits. Volunteers stocked the kits with things like gloves, flashlights, sponges and mold cleaner. Bottles of water will sent out as well.
Around 100 associates and volunteers gathered to prepare the kits, and get everything organized before they were shipped out. Convoy of Hope, one of The Home Depot Foundation’s experienced disaster response partners, will work quickly to deliver the kits to affected communities.
The Home Depot Foundation also committed $1 million dollars to support immediate disaster relief and long-term recovery efforts for communities impacted by Hurricane Ida.
"I think it is so important that we help each other out, especially in this crazy year," Hall explained. "So proud to work for a company that help's others and couldn't be more prod of the Home Depot [Foundation]."
