Good360 Helps Companies Effectively Donate to Tornado-Ravaged Tennessee


ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This week's fatal tornado activity tore through parts of Nashville and neighboring counties and states, leaving frightening destruction in its path. In the aftermath of the tornadoes, Good360, the global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, is working with their nonprofit partners to identify and share immediate product donation needs, which include:

While Good360 has shipped two truckloads of early response goods to Tennessee, there is an urgent need for additional goods and supplies. Companies with any of the products listed above can contact Good360 here https://good360.org/donate-goods/. Also, cash donations are critical because they allow responding organizations like Good360 to provide exactly what support is needed in a timely fashion.

"We are thankful to our corporate partners for their quick response, and we look forward to collaborating with additional companies to increase our impact in Tennessee," said Jim Alvey, Director of Partnerships, Disaster Recovery.

To date, the following Good360 corporate partners have pledged their support:

With both the frequency and intensity of natural disasters on the rise, there's an urgent need for a thoughtful approach to the way we respond and help impacted communities recover," continued Alvey. "Instead of sending unsolicited goods, 60% of which go to waste, Good360 partners with trusted nonprofits that understand what's needed on the ground, as well as when it's needed."
