The Raymond Corporation donates $5,000 to American Red Cross for Texas flood relief

The Raymond Corporation, a long-time supporter of the Southern Tier Chapter of the American Red Cross, has generously donated $5,000 to the Red Cross to assist with flood recovery in Texas.

With headquarters based in Greene, New York, Raymond has been serving the Texas region for decades. Malin, an authorized Raymond Sales and Service Center, has been providing material handling products, solutions and services to the state of Texas for more than 45 years. Malin also serves Louisiana, as well as portions of Mississippi and New Mexico.

Hundreds of American Red Cross workers are on the ground in Texas, helping residents impacted by yet another devastating flooding situation. Rain continues to fall in the region where the ongoing flooding has already damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.

Over the last year, the American Red Cross has helped tens of thousands of people across Texas impacted by relentless severe weather, flooding and tornadoes in more than 130 counties—many of which were struck multiple times.

Those who would like to help people affected by disasters like wildfires, flooding and countless other crises can make a donation to Red Cross Disaster Relief. People can donate by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. These donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
