In the wake of December’s devastating tornado strike in western Kentucky, Rev-A-Shelf, part of Jones Plastic & Engineering located in Louisville, Ky., joined forces with P&L Express transportation and other vendors to send 47,868 pounds of supplies to the region. “Driven by our employees asking if there was something we could do to help, we quickly rallied a team together,” said Creighton Jones, VP of Operations for Rev-A-Shelf. “It was both a proud and humbling moment to see the 53-ft. truck loaded with water, clothing and toys headed towards Mayfield.” Along with donations from the company, alerts were sent out over social media for those in Louisville and surrounding areas to drop off contributions. Employees and residents alike answered the call, providing much-needed items.In total, 45 pallets were dispatched, including 18 pallets of water, 2,000 face masks, 10,000 latex gloves, 4 gallons of hand sanitizer, 500 pairs of socks, 302 pairs of gloves, cleaning supplies and jackets and blankets. “We’d like give a special thanks to P&L Express, 5 Below, Clint Chemicals, Kyana Packaging, Karen from Costco and of course, all our hard-working employees who assisted with the purchase and transportation of the goods,” said Jones.
Another transport for early 2022 is in the works. To learn more, visit via Rev-A-Shelf’s social media pages or make direct donations through the “Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund.”
