Yesway Stands Strong in Community Support
In a heartfelt effort to assist those affected by the catastrophic flooding in the Hill Country, Yesway is stepping up to provide much-needed support. The company is calling on community members, customers, and supplier partners to engage in fundraising activities aimed at offering relief to those impacted by this calamity.
Rallying Funds for Recovery
As the community continues to recover from the flooding, which has caused widespread devastation, Yesway is proud to play a part in the healing journey. They have committed to donate $100,000 to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, targeting the recovery of families and first responders who have faced unimaginable losses during this disaster.
Additionally, Yesway encourages customers and partners to contribute by making donations at all Yesway and Allsup’s stores. Every contribution, whether it’s $1, $5, or more, will directly support the relief efforts, aimed at helping those in desperate need.
Community Solidarity in Crisis
Since the floods swept through the area, causing the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly and catch many off-guard, the importance of community has never been clearer. Despite the destruction left in its wake, the resilience of the Texan spirit shines brightly. The losses have been staggering, with disaster declarations for multiple counties, emphasizing the urgent need for aid and support.
Voices from the Heart
Tom Trkla, Yesway's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, articulated the company’s commitment by stating, "Our hearts are with the families and first responders affected by this disaster. While we are not the first responders, we feel a deep responsibility to support our neighbors in any way we can. Every contribution, regardless of size, can make a difference for those in need." His call to action resonates with the ethos Yesway has built upon since its inception.
The Road Ahead
The path to recovery for the communities impacted by the flooding will be long and challenging. Yesway hopes that by rallying together—whether through donations or spreading awareness—the community can begin to heal and rebuild. The support they provide is more than just financial; it's a testament to the collective strength of the Texas Hill Country.
