Pohanka of Salisbury is known for their interaction in the community and giving a helping hand to those who need it. Since the founding of their “Pohanka Pay It Forward” campaign the dealership has donated more than $1 million dollars to over 750 non profit and charity organizations. They are eager to support causes who need their help and were quick to respond to the relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Hurricane Harvey was a four day tropical storm that produced more than 40 inches of rainfall causing mass flooding and destroying many homes and vehicles. Thousands of people were evacuated from parts of both Louisiana and Texas. By the end of the storm over 30,000 people were left homeless and more than 100,000 were without a clean water supply. Days were spent airlifting and rescuing people trapped in their homes or on top of buildings.
Less than a day after the natural disaster hit Pohanka began coordinating with local, state and federal relief organizations to create a donation campaign and to ensure 100% of all the funds raised were donated and accounted for. Pohanka even agreed to match donations up to $10,000. “We were devastated when we saw what happened and immediately wanted to help in anyway we could” said Paul Eaton the Chief Operating Officer of Pohanka Automotive of Salisbury. “We are honored to help these people and their families get through this troubled time.”
Pohanka’s “Help Us Help Texas” campaign is up and running and currently accepting donations. With a goal of $20,000 Pohanka has high hopes to change the lives of those affected by this horrible storm. Anyone willing to make a donation will have their monetary contribution matched by the Pohanka Automotive Group for up to $10,000. Every donation helps those who have lost their livelihood to this horrible storm. Pohanka will continue to research methods in which they can help those involved and thanks everyone who has made a donation to the “Help Us Help Texas” Campaign.
