Jevic Helps Local Flood Relief Victims; Caring Company Reaches Out
to Help Those in Need DELANCO, N.J., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Burlington County-based Jevic Transportation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of SCS Transportation (NASDAQ:SCST), today will take
part in a relief effort organized by the Emergency Services
division of Catholic Charities for victims of the July 12 flood in
Burlington County. The motor carrier will transport approximately
$13,000 worth of donated bed linens and pillows from Federated
Logistics in Cherry Hill, NJ to the Fellowship Alliance Church in
Medford, where Emergency Services representatives will oversee
distribution to those in need. "When we got the call asking for our
help, we didn't need to think twice, these are our neighbors,
friends, and employees," said Jevic President and CEO Paul J.
Karvois. "We are glad to be able to assist in the way we know best
- by providing safe and secure transport of needed goods." In
addition, the Jevic trailer will remain on site until Friday,
August 13, providing temporary storage until all supplies have been
distributed. "Jevic has been just wonderful to us," said Emergency
Services' Community Affairs Manager Erin MacCord, whose office is
just down the road from Jevic in Delanco. "We've called on them
numerous times in the past - they're long-time supporters of
Emergency Services. They really care about the community. As soon
as I told them what we needed, they said, `absolutely.'" Heavy
rains on the evening of Monday, July 12 flooded hundreds of homes,
damaged roadways and breached area dams, leaving many residents
homeless and in need of basic necessities. Catholic Charities'
Emergency Services division is working in conjunction with the
American Red Cross and other local non-profits to coordinate relief
efforts. In addition to the organization's regular services, which
include emergency food, clothing and household items, Emergency
Services is holding a school supply drive and providing crisis
counseling. For more information on the flood relief effort, please
