Verizon has shared it has made a $25,000 donation to the American Red Cross, in immediate response to the impact of Typhoon Halong across Western Alaska.
The donation intends to support critical operations and aid residents facing displacement.
Additionally, Verizon is contributing $9,000 to the Food Bank of Alaska, in anticipation of increased community need for the upcoming winter.
Beyond this financial contribution, Verizon is committing in-kind resources to meet the immediate communication needs of evacuees with a market value of over $20,000.
This support includes the installation of free mobile device charger stations to residents currently staying at the shelters.
Sensitive to the fact that many might have left their devices behind during the evacuation, Verizon is lending phones at the shelters, ensuring that those impacted can reconnect with family members and loved ones, all free of charge.
American Red Cross of Alaska CEO Tanguy Libbrecht shared: “On behalf of everyone at the American Red Cross, I would like to thank Verizon for your extraordinary generosity and swift action in helping Alaskans in need.
“Your commitment to supporting this disaster relief effort with a financial gift of $25,000 is going to make such an incredible impact on those affected by this extraordinary disaster.”
