Freeman
-
Emergency Fund |
Freeman has established a non-profit emergency fund to assist their New Orleans staff, which will be administered by the Communities Foundation of Texas. The company has made an initial donation to this fund, and will also be covering the expense of administration, so that 100% of the donations will go directly to the families that need it. Even though the fund is set up for Freeman and AVW ‘s employee donations, many friends have asked how they can also contribute, and this fund would be the best course. |
To Donate: www.freemanco.com.
