We wanted to take a break from the norm and highlight the awesome efforts we've been seeing on social media by mines and construction companies to combat destruction caused by Hurricane Helene in the southern U.S.

Hedrick Industries | Mining Operations in NC, SC, and TN
Employees at facilities affected by the storm have been working hard to clean up so they can mobilize. Where they can, facilities have been working hard to supply North Carolina DOT trucks to rebuild roads and infrastructure.

Heidelberg Materials, Southeast Region | Mine Sites throughout the Southeast
President Scott Dickson reported that Heidelberg Materials made a donation of $75,000 to the American Red Cross and are matching employee donations. They’re also offering help to team members and the community.

Maymead, Inc. | Paving Contractor Serving NC, TN, and VA
Despite losing one of their team members and their facilities being flooded, they're mobilizing to help reconstruct roads damaged by the floods.

Please share other examples you’ve seen!
