Rural lifestyle retailer donates $100,000 in
funds and supplies to relief and recovery efforts
Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in
the United States, and its foundation are taking action to support
customers and communities impacted by the devastating tornadoes of
December 10.
The Tractor Supply Company Foundation has donated $50,000 to the
Red Cross Relief Fund to assist residents in the six impacted
Midwest and Southern states. Additionally, Tractor Supply is
supplying $50,000 in gift cards to stores in Kentucky and Tennessee
to distribute to local organizations and shelters to purchase
supplies such as pet and animal products, tools, tarps, gloves,
generators, and more. Once it is safe to do so, Tractor Supply
works to make its stores available to assist however possible,
whether that means ensuring its stores are well-stocked with
emergency supplies, making those supplies more accessible, or
simply having Team Members available for support.
“The impact of the devastation from the recent tornado outbreak
has been catastrophic. Our hearts go out to all of our neighbors
and communities impacted by the damage from the tornados,” said
Mary Winn Pilkington, president of the Tractor Supply Company
Foundation. “Tractor Supply is dedicated to supporting the
communities we call home.”
For Team Members impacted by the tornadoes, Tractor Supply
provides access to an employee assistance fund, called Here to
Help. The fund offers emergency financial support in the wake of
natural disasters, serious illness, injuries or catastrophic
circumstances and is funded by Tractor Supply and contributions
from the generosity of other Team Members.
The Red Cross has large relief efforts underway in four states —
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas— making sure everyone
has a safe place to stay, meals, emotional support, and comfort.
The nonprofit is moving as quickly as possible to get additional
volunteers, supplies, and help to the hardest hit areas.
