JACKSONVILLE, N.C.,
Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Hunt Heroes Foundation ("HHF"), the nonprofit formed by
Hunt Military Communities Mgmt., LLC ("HMC"), a subsidiary of Hunt
Companies, Inc. donated $3,000 to
three separate schools that were impacted by Hurricane
Florence. The schools, all located in Onslow County near the Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune, include: White Oak High School, Southwest High School, and
Northwoods Park Middle School.
"When we saw the amount of damage that Hurricane Florence did to
the Camp Lejeune Community we knew
we had to step in and help," stated James
Curtis, Hunt Heroes Foundation Board Member and Resident of
Onslow County. "While we don't
directly have residents who live in that area, Hunt has quite a few
employees who have worked, currently live or have lived in that
community so we felt it was the right thing to do. Students
have been out of these schools for weeks now, so we hope this
donation helps ease a small burden for the students, faculty and
staff."
Hurricane Florence was a powerful and long-lived hurricane that
caused severe damage in the Carolinas in September 2018, primarily as a result of
freshwater flooding. Florence dropped over 35 inches of rain in
parts of North Carolina, becoming
the wettest tropical cyclone recorded in the Carolinas, and also
the eighth-wettest overall in the contiguous United States.
"On behalf of Northwoods Park Middle School, I want to thank the
Hunt Heroes Foundation for the donation," stated Angela Garland, Principal of Northwoods Park
Middle School. "We really have been fortunate despite the
devastation Hurricane Florence wrecked on our school because of an
outpouring of generosity. Your assistance ensures our
teachers and students have the supplies they need to teach, to
learn and to grow. Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for
helping us. Our journey is ongoing and there are still
challenges, but you have made a difference in how we will handle
the hurdles ahead."
