–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG):


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 Louisiana.
 

WHAT:

The Tide Loads of Hope fleet has been deployed to support the
relief efforts in Louisiana. The early-responder Tide Loads of
Hope mobile laundry vehicle arrived to begin laundry services on
August 19th, providing free full-service laundry to
residents in Louisiana affected by the recent flooding. Beginning
August 25th, the Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry
vehicle will be joined by the extended capacity semi-truck in
response to the high demand for ongoing relief efforts. Residents
can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) 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 also 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:

Historic storms hit southern Louisiana and Mississippi between
August 10th and 13th, devastating thousands of
families and homes. As many residents have been forced from their
homes, they are currently 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.

Starting on Thursday, August 25th, the Tide Loads of Hope
extended capacity semi-truck will be located at:
 
Denham Springs Sam’s Club
