CannedWater4Kids, INX team up to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts

Hurricane Harvey made landfall for the first time on August 25 and devastated the Gulf Coast of Texas. A multiple-day event, the Category 4 storm with 130mph winds was the most powerful hurricane to hit the US in more than a decade.

CannedWater4Kids works to bring clean, safe drinking water to the children of the world who are currently without. It funds its initiatives with cash donations, grants and through the sale of premium drinking water in aluminum cans and bottles, with 95 cents of every dollar collected going to support clean water programs.

‘This is the first of many truckloads we hope to send,’ said CannedWater4Kids CEO Greg Stromberg. ‘Without hesitation, we helped. It was the right thing to do because clean, safe drinking water is a valuable resource. One doesn’t realize how valuable until it is gone.’

‘We are doing our part as good corporate citizens,’ commented Renee Schouten, director of marketing at INX. ‘It is important to be there for people, in good times and in bad. Providing clean water to communities enduring a crisis will aid in recovery and hopefully give some sense of comfort to those in need.’

Stromberg added: ‘Coordinating and financing the water delivery was a team effort. We couldn’t have done it without the help of INX International and the Red Cross organization. Their help and support was incredible.’

Support from other companies is being sought to send out further canned water for relief efforts in Texas
