In response to the devastating wildfires still ongoing in Los Angeles, Simpson Strong-Tie is donating $100,000 to the American Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts in affected areas.
Since the week of January 6, the Los Angeles area has experienced six major wildfires, resulting in at least 24 deaths, thousands of structures destroyed and countless residents evacuated and unable to return to their homes. The American Red Cross has deployed workers and volunteers to help provide food, shelter, emotional support and other services to those who have been displaced or otherwise impacted.
“The utter destruction we’re witnessing across swaths of Los Angeles is heartbreaking and terrifying; our thoughts go out to everyone affected and to the city at large,” said Simpson Strong-Tie President and CEO Mike Olosky. “We’re grateful to the Red Cross and all the organizations that are on the ground supporting those impacted by this tragedy.”
This contribution reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to aid in disaster relief and recovery efforts around the world. To donate, visit the Simpson Strong-Tie dedicated Red Cross site.
