Toyota Motor North America, Toyota Financial Services, The Friedkin Group, Gulf States Toyota along with Toyota and Lexus dealers have partnered together in an effort to help those impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
A US$3 million relief effort includes providing funds to organisations like the American Red Cross, matching contributions, in-kind donations, volunteerism, and the donation of pre-owned vehicles.
“As fellow Texans, our hearts go out to those who have lost so much and we would like to extend a helping hand to help with the recovery, Jim Lentz, chief executive of Toyota Motor North America says.
“At Toyota, we have a comprehensive approach to disaster relief, working with numerous organisations to provide help where it’s needed.”
Gulf States Toyota chairman Dan Friedkin has established the Friedkin Disaster Relief Fund, which has guaranteed at least US $1 million in funding from the Friedkin Family to help Toyota and Lexus dealers, their associates and individuals across the region recovering from the hurricane.
“This community is our home, and it’s important for us to do whatever possible to ensure that our associates, dealers and anyone impacted by the storm have the support and resources to bounce back during this difficult time.”
Toyota Financial Services and Lexus Financial Services also announced the donation of pre-owned Toyota and Lexus cars, SUVs, and trucks to organisations involved in helping move people and property in the recovery efforts.
