“Being part of the Texas community means doing our small part to
help our friends and neighbors when they most desperately need
relief,” said Todd Percival, Director of Distribution Center
Operations at CarParts.com’s Grand Prairie, Texas distribution
center. “We could not sit by while members of our community suffer
without heat, without power, and without food. We know there is
immense need throughout the state, and no one company or
organization can address all of it. Still, I am grateful that we
can aid in what will be an enormous team effort to get the state
back on its feet.”
Understanding that charity starts at home, CarParts.com’s local
relief efforts began when Percival personally delivered blankets,
food, and water to CarParts.com employees’ homes after they had
lost power. When CarParts.com Chief Executive Officer Lev Peker
heard about Percival’s efforts, he knew that the company could do
more.
“CarParts.com is proud to have made a home in Texas in 2020, and
it’s important to us to make an impact in our local communities.
Todd is an example of our how our team members go the extra mile to
help those in need,” said Peker. “In crises like this, we
understand the need for immediate and long-term relief, and we’re
committed to providing both through this initiative.”
“The pandemic already pushed more Texans than ever to access
food assistance from food banks, public nutrition programs, and
other sources. But the need is even higher as we strive to help
Texas families recover from the impact of the recent winter
storms,” said Celia Cole, Chief Executive Officer at Feeding Texas.
“We need all the help we can get to keep our communities nourished
through this crisis. We are grateful to have CarParts.com’s support
to help make up for the loss of food and procure the additional
food needed to meet the increased demand.”
Feeding Texas is working tirelessly to ensure food banks across
the entire state have the resources they need to provide for their
communities in the aftermath of the recent winter storms.
CarParts.com’s donation will be shared across 21 food banks
statewide to increase inventory after the experienced significant
loss of perishable food resulting from power outages, disruptions
in the supply chain due to the icy weather conditions, and
increased demand resulting from the ongoing pandemic, winter storm
impacts, and statewide disruptions impacting grocery stores.
