Domino Foods, Inc., donated $50,000 to The American Red Cross for its relief and rebuilding efforts to help the communities ravaged by Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast. The company also has set up a microsite where its employees and partners can join the company in support of The American Red Cross.
Domino Sugar, which owns a refinery on the Hudson River in New York and whose sales office is headquartered in New Jersey, launched the first phase of its giving program over Thanksgiving with a donation to The American Red Cross of 30,200 pounds of assorted Domino® Sugar products that were distributed to local food drives through The Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
“Fortunately, even though our New York refinery was shut down for almost two weeks, our employees personally were spared the most severe havoc Hurricane Sandy brought to our tri-state community.
But, not all in our communities were so fortunate.," said Brian O'Malley, President of Domino Foods. “We witnessed the tremendous response of The American Red Cross, who were among the first on the scene providing assistance to those that lost literally everything. Our $50,000 donation to The Red Cross is another way to assist and thank them for the services they are providing, and also to give back in a meaningful way to our fellow citizens who continue to struggle in the aftermath of the storm."
