"I'm grateful to TLG Peterbilt for their generous support of our efforts to help in the wake of these recent, deadly hurricanes," says Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. "So many people across the Southeast are hurting, overwhelmed and in desperate need of hope after these devastating storms. We've deployed more than 350 emergency airlifts, delivering generators, heaters, fuel, blankets, Starlinks and much more. And we're thankful for the thousands of volunteers who have come to roll up their sleeves and help families mud out their homes, clear debris, cut trees and begin the recovery process. These people have been through so much and we want to remind them that God loves them and they're not alone."
Samaritan's Purse is headquartered in Boone, N.C. It is on the ground providing aid to families clean up, organizing a civilian airlift to help people cut off by washed-out roads and bridges. More than 18,000 volunteers have served more than 1,200 families in need.
"We are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene," says Glenn Larson, president and CEO of TLG Peterbilt. "Our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted by this storm. We believe it is our responsibility to support local organizations like Samaritan's Purse that are working tirelessly to help people in need with their relief and recovery efforts."
TLG's donation will help Samaritan's Purse continue those relief efforts.
