Trusted World is dedicated to the needs of the community. We will only send what is needed when it is needed most. Michael Garrett, CEO of Trusted World stated, “During my last visit to the Houston, Port Arthur areas, I was amazed how many people are not living in their homes. Many people are either living in a trailer in their front yard or staying with family and friends as they are rebuilding their homes. Many houses in the Port Arthur area had 8’ or more of water. This required everything on the first floor to be ripped out and thrown away.”
To learn more about Trusted World’s relief efforts, the public is invited to a warehouse open house 613 Easy StreetGarland, Texas 75042 on April 19, 2018, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. For additional information visit https://trustedworld.org/events/trusted-world-warehouse-open-house/
