Casey Honda Collects Supplies for Superstorm Sandy Victims

Newport News, VA, November 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The end of October saw one of the most destructive storms ever to hit the north Atlantic coast, affecting at least 24 states. The majority of the damage was seen in New Jersey and New York, which included New York City. Millions of Americans were left without power, some with their homes completely devastated. Even two weeks following the storm, thousands of homes remain without power.

Efforts to provide aid to those affected by Superstorm Sandy have been taking place across the country. In Newport News, local radio station Movin’ 107.7, and 103 Jamz held relief drives at several locations, including local car dealership Casey Honda. Radio personalities came to each location to help collect supplies, and the drive was broadcast live on-air.

Casey Honda helped collect much-needed supplies for those whose lives were devastated by Superstorm Sandy. Supplies collected included flashlights with fresh batteries; baby supplies such as diapers and baby wipes; feminine products; clothing items; commercial strength trash bags; non-perishable food items; and bottled water.

After the supplies were collected, local moving company Atlantic Beach Movers helped get the supplies to the hard-hit areas of New York and New Jersey.

Casey Honda joins businesses across the country who are encouraging customers to give money or supplies to help victims of the devastating storm. Numerous auto manufacturers, including Honda, have pledged to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars for humanitarian relief and recovery efforts in affected areas. The most devastated states, New Jersey and Connecticut, have asked for tens of billions of dollars in federal relief funds to repair damaged infrastructure. Casey Honda urges everyone who can to donate at the American Red Cross website at redcross.org.
