The Rite Aid Foundation announced today a $100,000 donation to
the American Red Cross to help the victims, families and
communities affected by Hurricane Harvey.
“While the true impact won’t be known for years to come, it’s
clear that Hurricane Harvey will go on record as one of the most
devastating storms in U.S. history, forever changing the lives of
millions of people across Texas and other affected areas,” said Ken
Martindale, Rite Aid CEO of stores, president of Rite Aid
Corporation and president of The Rite Aid Foundation. “As relief
efforts continue and rebuilding begins, The Rite Aid Foundation
hopes that this donation to the American Red Cross will help make a
difference to those most affected by this devastating storm.”
While Rite Aid does not operate any pharmacies in Texas,
RediClinic, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, operates 36
clinics inside H-E-B grocery stores in Houston, Austin, and San
Antonio. In the greater Houston area, 21 of RediClinic’s 22
locations have reopened and are operating on a modified schedule.
RediClinic’s Kingwood location remains closed due to flooding. For

as we work together to provide hope and help to people in
