Civic Financial Services Lends Support to Victims of Hurricane Harvey
Redondo Beach, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2017 -- Following the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Civic Financial Services held a company-wide relief effort to lend support and supplies to evacuees.
CIVIC private money lending headquarters in Redondo Beach, California closed all operations on September 14th to join together and give back to the Houston community. CIVIC’s 100+ employees worked to assemble 1,000 Dignity Backpacks for Hurricane Harvey evacuees. Each backpack included essential supplies including towels, socks, toiletry items and snacks – along with a note of support and encouragement.
The Dignity Backpacks have been delivered to evacuees at the BakerRipley Emergency Shelter at NRG Center in Houston, which is currently serving Texans from more than 100 cities in sixteen languages.
“Each backpack symbolizes the strength to carry on,” said William J. Tessar, CIVIC’s President and CEO. “Even though the sun is shining and the cameras are gone, people are still displaced and it truly is our CIVIC Duty to step up and give back in this time of need.”
BakerRipley is a non-profit organization providing a wide range of community-based programs in Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast. After the flood waters from Harvey recede, they are responsible for assistance with long-term recovery. Angela Blanchard, BakerRipley’s President and CEO, was just awarded the prestigious Heinz Award, and Civic Financial Services is beyond proud to be contributing to their NRG Center shelter operation.
