Business Wire
Today, Crocs, Inc., in partnership with Feed The Children, is
again helping thousands of victims affected by the recent
devastating tornados in Missouri by providing disaster relief items
for distribution by Operation Compassion to those in Joplin. This
follows a donation last month to the Birmingham Salvation Army for
tornado survivors.
In recent months, Crocs along with long-standing partner, Feed
The Children, has sent trucks loaded with supplies and more than
5,000 pairs of Crocs™ shoes to help those impacted by these
disastrous storms. Families in both regions are receiving basic
necessities including food and other disaster relief items.
Additionally, as many survivors were left with nothing more than
the clothes on their back, Crocs is providing footwear for
survivors.
“At the foundation of Crocs Cares℠ is the simple notion of
helping those in need,” stated John McCarvel, President and CEO of
Crocs, Inc. “Assisting our employees, friends and family as they
get back on their feet is a top priority following these
devastating storms.”
Crocs maintains a spirit of giving back. The company’s
philanthropic platform, Crocs Cares℠, has donated nearly 3 million
pairs of shoes in more than 40 countries to those in need. These
donations are made to survivors of natural disasters including the
Japanese tsunami, Haiti earthquake and California forest fires, as
well as to those who cannot afford basic necessities such as
shoes.
