ModSpace employees to travel to Haiti to support Red Cross.
Today Modular Space Corporation (ModSpace) announced that it has offered to donate $1 million in modular buildings and portable offices to the American Red Cross to aid the millions of Haitians that were displaced by Tuesday's earthquake.
"We were devastated by the loss of life and destruction that occurred a few days ago," said Charles Paquin, President & CEO of ModSpace. "We have a long history of donating time and funds to the American Red Cross, and are grateful to have a chance to help out in any way that we can. Our past disaster relief work with the American Red Cross has raised over $500,000 to benefit victims of natural disasters."
ModSpace is prepared to send emergency relief teams to Haiti to train local personnel for the installation of modular equipment and support project management. "The Red Cross is extremely thankful for the prompt response and generous donation that ModSpace pledged to the cause," said Tom Foley, CEO of the American Red Cross Southeastern Pennsylvania (SEPA) Chapter. "We will need an immense amount of space to store all of our equipment and have a place where volunteers can direct their operations, and ModSpace's modular buildings will be a perfect solution."
This pledge of equipment and manpower is just one initiative that ModSpace is undertaking to help out with the crisis in Haiti. Through its sponsorship of the No.1 ModSpace/Andy Belmont Racing Ford driven by Nick Igdalsky in the 2010 ARCA Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards, a portion of all of the team's winnings will be donated the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
ModSpace is very familiar with assisting the American Red Cross in its response to natural disasters. The company has assisted in disaster relief efforts during Hurricanes Ike, Katrina, and Rita by providing temporary modular buildings for a variety of space needs. The company continues to support rebuilding efforts in the region today with permanent modular buildings, construction offices, and portable storage. Additionally, through its title sponsorship of the inaugural American Red Cross Tour du Rouge in 2009, over $500,000 was raised to benefit the Gulf Coast Red Cross chapters.
