Partnership with Good360 Supports Rebuilding
after Hurricane Harvey and Other Disasters
Armstrong Flooring has pledged to donate 250,000 square feet of
flooring to support rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Harvey and
other natural disasters.
The company will contribute flooring through a new partnership
established with Good360, a nonprofit that matches product
donations with community organizations, many of which are engaged
in disaster recovery in local communities.
“Our hearts go out to the families and communities that were
devastated by Hurricane Harvey and the flooding it unleashed,” said
Don Maier, Armstrong Flooring Chief Executive Officer. “Launching
this new program with Good360 enables us to provide flooring to
help rebuild communities. Through this effort, we can focus on
helping those who are most vulnerable to begin the recovery process
and restore their homes.”
The flooring donated through Good360 will be provided to
nonprofit organizations, including those helping with rebuilding
efforts after disasters. Good360 provides products for all stages
of disaster recovery and works with its on-the-ground nonprofit
partners to assess needs and respond accordingly.
“Good360 is extremely pleased to be partnering with Armstrong
Flooring to assist with the long-term recovery of Texas and
Louisiana from Hurricane Harvey,” said Richard Barney, EVP of
Partnerships for Good360. “While disasters only remain in the
public eye for a few days or weeks, the recovery process for an
event as devastating as this will take several years.
Armstrong Flooring and Good360 are committed to helping this region
recover long after Harvey has disappeared from the evening
news.”
