Help Trimmers Impacted by Winter Storms

February 24, 2021 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Help Trimmers Impacted by Deadly Winter Storms

Winter storms knocked out power and cut water for millions of Americans – including trimmers – in the Southeast. Here’s how you can help.

Last week’s winter storms hit Southerners hard. Many were unprepared for the onslaught of burst pipes, leaking roofs, flooding and electricity and water shortages. Many fled their homes to find warmth, and sadly some died from hypothermia.

Certainly, among those impacted were auto professionals and their families. If you’d like to help them, consider making a donation to the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF).

The AACF aids automotive aftermarket families affected by catastrophe by providing financial assistance so they can find temporary housing, food and care.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to AACF, by visiting aacfi.org. If you’re an aftermarket professional who needs assistance, you can apply for AACF support by completing a simple application.

Individually, there’s only so much we can do. But together, we can really make a difference.
