HPCS and Global Skincare Company Organize Memorial Area Drive to Collect Items Needed for Houston Families After Hurricane Harvey
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- Houston Plastic Craniofacial & Sinus Surgery (HPCS) has partnered with global skincare company ZO Skin Health by Dr. Zein Obagi, to host the event Thursday, September 7th, 11:30am - 3:30pm, near the intersection of Blalock and Interstate 10, in the lobby of Spring Valley Medical Plaza, 9230 Katy Freeway, Spring Valley Village, TX 77055.
As the flood water recedes, the real work begins. The Houston school district serves approximately 215,000 students and is still working to assess the damage.

Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgeon and HPCS founder Dr. Sean Boutros explains, "The need now is very specific, so our efforts to help are just as focused."
Members of the Gallery Furniture team will distribute the donations to deserving Houston families; 1000 of which are still being cared for and served in its Houston stores that have become ad-hoc shelters. Regarding the recent outpouring of donations from the community, Houston philanthropist and Gallery Furniture business owner James "Mattress Mack" McIngvale said "It reaffirms your faith in mankind when you see people coming in and giving up what they don’t need. There’s an incredible outpouring of support. It’s just tremendous.”
