$500,000 contribution to SBP will help launch
new recovery organization – Homes for West Virginia
MedExpress, part of Optum, a UnitedHealth Group company
(NYSE:UNH), announced a $500,000 contribution to SBP to help launch
Homes for West Virginia, a new organization dedicated to rebuilding
homes and communities following the deadly flooding throughout the
state that devastated communities and claimed 23 lives earlier this
year.
The donation from MedExpress and UnitedHealth Group will help
SBP begin rebuild and recovery efforts in the West Virginia
counties most in need of assistance.
“MedExpress is humbled to play a part in helping West Virginians
rebuild and recover,” said MedExpress CEO Frank Alderman. “With the
help of local volunteers and community leaders like SBP, we can all
help West Virginians and their families get back on their feet and
into a safe home.”
SBP is a leading national disaster recovery nonprofit
organization. Twelve West Virginia counties were declared federal
disasters following the June flooding, and nearly 8,000 people have
requested assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). Homes for West Virginia’s first initiative will be in White
Sulphur Springs, which will serve as a model for other projects
throughout the state in need of recovery services.
The donation was announced at a groundbreaking ceremony in White
Sulphur Springs. Recently renamed “Hope Village,” the Mennonite
Disaster Services will aid in the building of the village, which
will feature 42 homes and a community park.
