A tractor-trailer donated by Wright Transportation and fueled by
Automation Personnel Services, Inc. picked up 60 pieces of
gently used furniture from La-Z-Boy Southeast at the Richland,
South Carolina facility on Tuesday. The items will be
delivered to the Church at Addis in Louisiana
on Thursday, October 13th at 8:00
a.m.
Leslie Nordness, part of the husband and wife team that founded
Automation Personnel Services, Inc., is a native of Louisiana. The
couple started #AutomationDonationStation within days of the
massive flooding that affected Baton Rouge and other parishes on
August 12. Leslie has been delivering truckloads of personal items
to Louisiana, working with Blue Star Mothers, The Cajun Army, Cajun
Relief Foundation, Storms Shelters, as well as others out helping
people of South Louisiana in need.
La-Z-Boy Southeast is a family owned business that operates six
stores in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. “Twice a
year we hold a trade-in sale where we ask our customers to donate
gently used furniture in exchange for a discount on a new La-Z-Boy
purchase,” said Martha Brown, President and CEO La-Z-Boy Southeast.
“Traditionally, these donations are shared with charities in the
cities where our stores are located. Following the news of the
devastating floods in Louisiana, we were compelled to gather
donations and deliver to the area for families in need of home
furnishings. It is a small donation on our part, but one we hope
will help those missing the comforts of home.”
“We will continue to do all that we can to help as many families
as we can get back on their feet,” said Mrs. Nordness. “It’s
amazing to see how resilient these survivors are and we appreciate
everyone who has donated to this cause.”
For more information on how the donated furniture will be
distributed please contact the church directly.
