JLG Works with Local Communities to Support Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts
More than 60,000 pounds of supplies and food were delivered to victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, thanks to relief efforts organized by JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company and a manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telehandlers.
Working with local communities, the company coordinated drives at its Hagerstown, Md., and Bedford, McConnellsburg, and Shippensburg, Penn., facilities to support Hurricane Harvey flood victims. More than 100 JLG employees volunteered time to work shifts so members of those communities could make donations of personal care items, food and beverages, baby care products, and other needed items, such as blankets, pillows, flashlights, batteries, games, toys, undergarments and socks.
