Families, individuals, and responders in

WHAT:
P&G Disaster Relief is activating to
support recovery efforts in Ohio and Indiana in collaboration with
Walmart and Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian
aid and disaster relief organization.
A Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Laundry Unit,

A shower trailer will be also available to
provide residents with hot showers. The shower trailer has five
private bathroom/shower units, one of which is ADA-compliant, and a
Pampers diaper changing station. Individual personal care products,
including shampoo, conditioner and body wash from P&G brands
such as Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Olay and Old Spice, and
freshly laundered towels will be available for use on-site. All
units are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected following each
use.
In partnership with Matthew 25:
Ministries, P&G will also distribute free personal care kits
with everyday essentials, including cleaning products to meet basic
hygiene and home care needs directly into impacted
neighborhoods.*
WHY:
Powerful tornadoes and storms struck
central Indiana and Ohio, resulting in loss of life and damage to
homes and communities.

help restore a sense of normalcy to communities most impacted by
major disasters. Together, they assist people in need of clean
laundry, showers and personal care items in communities recovering
