TEAM DEPOT GIVES RELIEF FOR FLORENCE VICTIMS

Atlanta, GA September 2018—On September 19, 2018, The Home Depot partnered with HeroBox, Convoy of Hope, and A Better way Movers to send 2400 customized care packages to victims of Hurricane Florence. The event took place in Atlanta, Georgia at the Home Depot Headquarters, where hundreds of volunteers came out to fill the buckets, hammer them shut, and wrap them on pallets.

This two day event began on September 18th where volunteers helped unload trucks and pallets, stock tables, open boxes, and organize tables where the event would take place, to prep for day two. Day two involved packing and wrapping the buckets on pallets, and loading them on trucks to be shipped right away. Just as in the past, this project was a great success. The lead volunteers of this project, Ryan from HeroBox and Jena from Team Depot, took charge and kept things flowing and operating smoothly. The items donated were paper towels, sponges, gloves, and cleaning supplies. Volunteers also helped restock tables, organize the items so that they fit into the buckets, and made sure that each other were taken care of as they worked hard in the Georgia heat.

Jenna from Team Depot stated, “We wanted to help those in need, it is what we are passionate about. We are glad to have made this happened, and we appreciate those volunteers who came out to support our endeavors.”

HeroBox is honored to have been a part of such a great service project and look forward to many more to come.
