Employees of MSI’s local branches also collected other essentials, such as hygiene items, cleaning products, clothing and pet food.

In collaboration with the Ohana Institute and MSI’s local customer, Surfaces PCB of Panama City Beach, Fla., MSI volunteers visited some of the most hard-hit areas to provide urgently needed hands-on help.

In addition to cutting down trees and moving furniture, volunteers transported hundreds of hot meals to distribution centers.

“Team MSI will continue to volunteer in the weeks and months ahead as families rebuild and recover from this powerfully destructive hurricane.”
