A firm that does business in this area has committed to donate $1.5 million in relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
Mahindra North America, along with its employees and dealer network, are coming together to help in the aftermath of Harvey’s widespread impact on much of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. As a group, donations are going to support the Greater Houston Community Foundation and the American Red Cross, both of which are directing funds to benefit the areas that were impacted by hurricane.
The organization is based in Houston, Texas. In this area, dealers are Hirsch Feed and Farm in West Plains and Thayer and Agri-Enterprises at Licking.
“As a Houston-based company, our employees and dealers have been directly impacted by Harvey. We are saddened to see the devastation left behind, no only in our community, but throughout the region and our sympathies are with the storm victims. Mahindra is focused on the recovery and rebuilding process to help our neighbors and friends rise from this storm stronger than ever,” said Cleo Franklin, an executive with the company. “One of the three pillars of Mahindra’s Rise philosophy is driving positive change, and we are putting muscle behind this pillar as a company and as individuals in this time of great need.”
