Civic Financial Services Lends Hand to Hurricane Harvey Recovery

Sep 20, 2017

Following the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Civic Financial Services held a company-wide relief effort to lend support and supplies to evacuees. 

www.CIVICfs.comFollowing the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Civic Financial Services held a company-wide relief effort to lend support and supplies to evacuees. 
 
CIVIC private money lending, headquartered in Redondo Beach, Calif., closed all operations on Sept. 14 to join together and give back to the Houston community. CIVIC’s 100-plus employees joined together for the assembly of 1,000 Dignity Backpacks for Hurricane Harvey evacuees. Each backpack includes essential supplies including towels, socks, toiletry items and snacks–along with a note of support and encouragement.
 
The Dignity Backpacks have been delivered to evacuees at the BakerRipley Emergency Shelter at NRG Center in Houston, which is currently serving Texans from more than 100 cities in 16 languages.
 
“Each backpack symbolizes the strength to carry on,” said William J. Tessar, CIVIC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Even though the sun is shining and the cameras are gone, people are still displaced and it truly is our CIVIC Duty to step up and give back in this time of need.”
 
BakerRipley is a non-profit organization providing a wide range of community-based programs in Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast. After the flood waters from Harvey recede, they are responsible for assistance with long-term recovery.
