Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

How did you first get involved in the industry? 

Through a temp agency. I was thinking about changing career from the printing industry and did not know what that looked. So I took three months off and when I returned to the workforce I went through a temp agency and Bridgestone was my first assignment.

My mom, I watched her worked ethic and copied it. Going to work on time and completing all tasks at hand.

What has been the greatest challenge/opportunity in your career? 

Being the only African American/black, woman, or both on my team. Getting the respect I deserved. Speaking out without being labeled.

Don’t give up, you can do it.

Why is it important for you to belong to Women in Buses Council? 

The connections you make are lifelong. The strength that these women has is contagious. You feel you can do anything with the level of support that is given. Also, the willingness to give back to others, is what I lived to do.
