American Packaging Corp. (APC), a leader in flexible packaging, has donated $115,250 to help families and communities impacted by Hurricanes Helene, Milton and other severe storms in 2024. The donation was made in collaboration with the American Red Cross of Western New York and included contributions from both the company and its employees.
“I’m so proud to work for a company that truly lives its core values every day,” said Ray Graham, CEO and president of APC. “With the support of our ownership, the Schottland Family, APC engages with our communities both near our centers and across the U.S., providing significant resources these families need to get back on their feet. I’m even more proud of our APC family members, as so many of them also added personal contributions.”
Nick Bond, CEO of the American Red Cross of Western New York, expressed gratitude for APC’s generosity. “Having personally witnessed the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, I am extremely grateful for the generous and compassionate gift from American Packaging Corporation and its employees,” he said. “This donation will help the Red Cross fulfill its mission of alleviating suffering in times of disaster and support impacted communities on their long road to recovery.”
Bond also emphasized the growing challenges of disaster relief. “Unfortunately, we are seeing disasters that are more intense, more frequent, and of longer duration than ever before. It is only through the support of committed community partners like American Packaging Corporation that we can provide hope and recovery to families and individuals who are dealing with unimaginable loss,” he said.
The funds will assist the Red Cross in providing essential resources to communities recovering from these devastating storms.
