Southwire, Project GIFT And JD Martin Support Flood Relief Efforts In Texas


(MENAFN- 3BL) Earlier this summer, devastating floods swept through Texas Hill Country, claiming more than 100 lives and causing widespread damage. Since the storm, Southwire's Project GIFT volunteers alongside the company's agent partners at JD Martin have taken action to support flood relief recovery efforts.

Project GIFT, the volunteer branch of the nonprofit Southwire CARES, has held disaster relief as a core cause for 20 years. In the wake of the Texas flooding, Project GIFT supplied 14 pallets of disaster relief kits to areas affected by the storm. Each kit consists of a bucket filled with cleaning supplies and other essential items to aid in the wake of the flooding.

Southwire's Texas locations-including Arlington, Ft. Worth, Denton, DFW CSC and El Paso-also came together to support flood relief through Project GIFT® donation drives. In addition to these material contributions, Southwire donated $10,000 to help fuel recovery efforts, and team members across the organization donated more than $2,500.

The Giving Back spirit spread to others within the Southwire community; JD Martin, an agent partner who supports Southwire in the Texas region, furthered their partnership with Project GIFT to expand the relief impact.

JD Martin provided a $50,000 monetary donation to Project GIFT's Hill Country Flood Relief efforts, which allowed Southwire team members on-site in Texas to prepare an additional 1,250 relief kits. These kits were donated to the San Antonio food bank, which is providing resources to areas impacted by flooding.

Additionally, JD Martin offered to match donations from their employees to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. JD Martin employees raised more than $13,000, which was matched by the company for a total combined contribution of more than $76,000 from JD Martin and their team.
