"We are thankful to our corporate partners for their quick response, and we look forward to collaborating with additional companies to increase our impact in Tennessee," said Jim Alvey, Director of Partnerships, Disaster Recovery.

To date, the following Good360 corporate partners have pledged their support:

  • The UPS Foundation

With both the frequency and intensity of natural disasters on the rise, there's an urgent need for a thoughtful approach to the way we respond and help impacted communities recover," continued Alvey.
