TE Connectivity Ltd., the world’s largest provider of connectivity solutions, and its employees have donated over $72,000 to support the American Red Cross’s Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Kenzie Ferguson, Director of Corporate Responsibility said, “When Sandy struck, TE employees around the world stepped up and asked how they can support the communities in need. In response, we opened a donation microsite where over 100 employees made contributions. Also, employees closer to the communities affected by the storm collected supplies and donated them directly to the shelters.”
“The American Red Cross is grateful for the support of the employees and management of TE Connectivity and their contributions will surely assist the great needs caused by Hurricane Sandy and other disasters,’ Said Jill Troutman, Regional Development Officer of the American Red Cross serving Central Pennsylvania. “The American Red Cross has responded with what is our biggest U.S. disaster response in more than five years, and we are incredibly grateful for the generous support of so many donors and volunteers as well as government and non-profit partners across the country, who enable us to help the survivors of this storm.”
Thanks to the public’s generous support, the American Red Cross has provided food, shelter, relief supplies and comfort to thousands of people impacted by Sandy. Our work includes:
- Serving more than 9.6 million meals and snacks.
- Handing out more than 6.7 million relief items, including cold weather items and clean-up supplies.
- Providing more than 106,000 health services and emotional support contacts for people who have been living in very tough conditions.
- Connecting with more than 106,000 families and individuals to determine recovery needs and provide access to resources
- Mobilizing more than 16,200 trained workers to help people affected by Sandy. About 90 percent of them are volunteers from all over the country.
- Overall, a range of groups provided more than 158,000 shelter stays for Sandy, and the Red Cross provided more than 81,000 of those stays.
More than 1,000 Red Cross workers are still on the ground supporting survivors through our relief work even as we begin our longer-term recovery efforts.
- The Red Cross is providing food, water, relief supplies, health services and emotional support in some areas. We continue to operate fixed feeding sites and provide mobile feeding. In addition, we are helping to provide an additional 60,000 meals a day through helping to fund community food banks in new York.
- Trained Red Cross workers are also helping to connect people to recovery resources and working with community groups to identify available support.
- The Red Cross is focused on how we can help support long-term recovery efforts as the need for emergency services declines.
