Ford Provides Aid to Victims of Hurricane Harvey

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– In wake of Hurricane Harvey's damage to Houston and the surrounding areas, Ford and its dealers have all made a commitment to assist the victims of this disaster. By donating over $3.5 million in hurricane relief and contributing to the "Texas is Family" initiative, Ford provides aid to victims of Hurricane Harvey. A portion of the money raised between Ford and its dealers will be donated to the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Team Rubicon, Toolbank, and Catholic Charities, and will provide four Chariot Transit Vans that will support future efforts in the area.

In the Texas area, Ford dealers have donated over $200,000 to the Cowboys-Texans telethon and have made a commitment to donating over $1 million to help dealership families and local charities. Nationally, Ford has promised to match this donation total by contributing up to $1.5 million to community relief foundations. Ford's dealers, both in Texas and throughout the United States, have dedicated their efforts towards raising additional funds to help reach their donation goal of $1 million.

“Our hearts go out to all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Texas is like family for Ford,” said Jim Hackett, Ford president and CEO. “Our teams are working day and night to help our customers, dealers and communities get back on their feet.”

The "Texas is Family" initiative is a customer assistance bundle Ford will be providing to victims of Hurricane Harvey. People affected by the hurricane receive a no-haggle, below-invoice price typically given to employees and families of Ford, a low credit APR or lease rate, and won't have to make any payments until next year. The Texas is Family program also allows existing customers to defer their payments for up to two months, and first responders in the area are eligible to receive a special $1,000 discount in addition to any available incentives.

Currently, 101 of Ford's 114 dealerships in the Houston region are open. 13 of them have been closed and 10 (some open and some closed) have sustained severe damage.
