GREAT NECK, NY (Oct. 25, 2022) — To support Hurricane Ian relief efforts in the Southeast United States, First Quality is donating $100,000 to the American Red Cross.
“With help from our partners, the American Red Cross is working around the clock to provide food, shelter and comfort for people facing the heartbreaking devastation left behind by Hurricane Ian,” said Mary J. Barneby, regional chief executive officer of American Red Cross Greater New York Region. “First Quality’s support will help ensure that no one faces this difficult time alone.”
