Procter & Gamble Brings Mobile Relief to West Virginia Residents Affected by Recent Flooding with Tide Loads of Hope and P&G Product Kits

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procter & Gamble:

WHO:

  Families, individuals and first responders in need of personal care
items, cleaning products or laundry services in the wake of the
recent historic flooding in West Virginia.
 

WHAT:

Beginning Tuesday, June 28th the Tide Loads of Hope
mobile laundry unit will be providing free full-service laundry to
residents in West Virginia affected by the recent flooding.
Residents can bring clothes to the mobile unit to be washed, dried
and folded free of charge for those in the directly affected areas.
All washable clothing types can be accepted with the exception of
heavy bedding. In addition, P&G will be providing personal care kits
containing items such as Secret deodorant, Crest toothpaste and
Pantene shampoo as well as household cleaning products like Bounty,
Mr. Clean and Swiffer.
 

WHY:

Heavy rain led to widespread flooding which has devastated areas
of West Virginia resulting in the governor declaring a state of
emergency in 44 counties. Many residents have been forced from
their homes, leaving them without basic needs and resources. P&G
has a history of giving back to the communities where we live and
work, and we wanted to provide some everyday essentials to those
who need it most. These services are free and available to people
affected by the disaster and the volunteers that are helping to
respond.

Tide Loads of Hope and the P&G product distribution program is
planning to visit multiple areas affected by the floods. The program
will initially be located at:
