QUIKRETE Contributes to Catholic Charities Hurricane Relief
The QUIKRETE Companies recently donated 1,800 care packages to Catholic Charities USA for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New Jersey. More than 60 employees and family members of the manufacturer assembled care packages valued at nearly $50,000 that were delivered to Catholic Charities agencies in Diocese of Trenton, Archdiocese of Newark, Diocese of Paterson, Diocese of Camden and Diocese of Metuchen.
“With the contributions of organizations like QUIKRETE, we’re able to help thousands of local residents currently displaced or sheltering in place due to Hurricane Sandy,” said Joe Duffy, president for Catholic Charities for Diocese of Paterson. “Families in need of cleaning and comfort supplies that under normal circumstances are easily accessible, cannot get them. Thanks to QUIKRETE, my colleagues and I are able to provide some basic necessities to those fighting to put their lives back together.”
