Following an October 4 pledge, Southwind Floors transported critical donations to Bristol Motor Speedway for Hurricane Helene relief. The 53-foot trailer, packed with water, winter clothing, and other essentials from Dalton and Chattanooga donors, arrived on October 9, demonstrating strong regional support for storm victims.

“We put the word out and the generosity of folks in the Dalton and Chattanooga area came through,” said Robert Gillean, vice president of operations for Southwind Floors. “We even received ski jackets and boots and other winter clothing items from a Chattanooga retailer. Not to mention cash donations to buy additional pallets of bottled water.” Southwind warehouse workers collected, shrink-wrapped, and loaded the pallets of donated goods for the long haul to Bristol, Tennessee.

“We want to thank all our North Georgia neighbors who spread the word and donated to help the folks in Tennessee and North Carolina,” said Drew Hash, president and CEO of Southwind. “Together, we were able to help out in their time of need.”
