Tillys originally planned on loading and driving one truck with
goods to Texas. However, donations multiplied after an email was
sent asking Tillys employees, as well as the local community, to
donate an array of flood recovery items. The goods filled three
26-foot trucks, as well as another vehicle.
The first truck contained Tillys merchandise, cleaning products,
hygiene products and non-perishable food. The second truck
contained baby supplies from the Purist Group, car enthusiasts who
help members of the community when in need, and the third
truck contained apparel from Nitro Circus, an action sports
entertainment collective led by pro motorsports
icon Travis Pastrana.
Tillys also partnered with officers from the Los Angeles Police
Department and Long Beach Police Department. They volunteered to
assist with driving, as well as loading and unloading of the
trucks.
Hezy Shaked, Tillys Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board,
stated: “We are grateful that we could contribute aid to the
Hurricane Harvey victims, and we thank all those who donated to
fill our trucks with supplies. We extend our support to the victims
impacted by Hurricane Harvey, and we urge people to help support
those affected in any way they can."
The trucks will be delivering the supplies in the Houston area
at two distribution centers for flood recovery, including Hope City
Church and Attack Poverty, a nonprofit organization in Richmond,
Texas.
