Why We Want To Help?
Being headquartered in sunny South Florida, we understand the plight of those hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. As such, Morris 4x4 Center employees have set up a way to donate relief funds to the help families in need of supplies and support. Both hard-hitting hurricanes have produced insurmountable damage across Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Barbuda, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and a number of other islands. Irreparable damage has befallen the homes and vehicles of thousands of families. Those who evacuated don’t know what to expect when they return home, or when their power will come back on. It’s up to us to do our best to contribute. Join us in helping our friends, families, and fellow Jeepers affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma by donating your time, money, or donations.
Other Ways to Help
Offer housing, donate blood and volunteer! People need gas and food and necessities for babies.
