LMC dealers support relief efforts in North Carolina and California

In an open letter to LMC dealers nationwide, LMC VP of Building Materials John Keeley is calling for business to support efforts to help recovery in California and North Carolina following natural disasters in the region.

“As you may have seen, the recent hurricane that swept through Western North Carolina left behind a trail of destruction, severely impacting homes, businesses, and entire communities. While the storm has passed, the recovery efforts are far from over, and countless families are still grappling with the aftermath.

At LMC, we believe that in times of crisis, we can make a meaningful difference when we come together. That’s why we are proud to support the relief efforts led by Ruth Kellick Grubbs, an industry consultant who is working tirelessly alongside multiple organizations across our industry to provide aid to those most in need. These efforts aim not only to provide immediate relief but also to help these communities rebuild and recover in the long term.
