In the wake of Hurricane Harvey and the devastation in Texas, communities throughout the United States have come together to help those in need. As images of Houston’s flooding by as much as 50 inches of rain shocked the nation, efforts to help came together quickly. TRSA operator member Paris Cos. did its part by working with the Greater Johnstown (PA) Convention & Visitors Bureau in the “To Texas with Love” Houston flood-relief project.

A total of seven tractor-trailers were loaded and made their way to Houston. The trucks were loaded with supplies to help the hurricane victims in the greater Houston area. Two tractor-trailers were loaded full of water while the others were filled with nonperishable or ready-to-eat food; hygiene products; new undergarments; blankets; coloring books and stuffed animals for children; pet food and pet supplies; and cleaning products.

The sendoff took place on Sept. 8 with the convoy of tractor-trailers bound for Houston. Trucks were supplied by Aaron Korenoski Trucking, MJ Daniels Trucking LLC and MMI Door. Trailers were supplied by Birk Transfer Inc., Diesel Transport Inc. and Paris Cos.
