In keeping with Mr. Honda’s original mission to be a good corporate citizen and neighbor when American Honda launched in 1959, the Red Riders have stepped up again in response to the catastrophic flooding in Texas. “The Honda U.S. family of companies is reaffirming its commitment to disaster relief by supporting the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program. Honda’s $1 million contribution to the program enables the Red Cross to respond to disasters big and small across the country, whenever and wherever they occur.”
The flooding in Texas is one of more than 65,000 disasters the Red Cross responds to each year. With this support from Honda, the Red Cross is able to provide emergency shelter, food, water and other critical resources to those impacted by disasters, including storms and countless other crises. Honda’s proactive funding helps the Red Cross mobilize quickly and efficiently to support families and communities in need.
Beyond the company’s partnership with the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program, Honda Financial Services (HFS) are offering payment extensions and lease deferrals to customers in Texas, as well as North Carolina, impacted by recent flood events. Customers can get more information by calling the HFS hotline at (800) 445-1358.
Honda continues to provide its associates with opportunities to support disaster relief through the company’s matching fund and volunteer grant programs as well.
