Carlsbad, CA – Freight Capital employees, in just two short weeks contributed nearly $3,000 in donations to the earthquake victims of Japan. In turn, the freight factoring company matched the employee’s charitable contributions, donating almost $6,000 to The American Red Cross. One hundred percent of these donations will go directly to the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund.
“The Japanese people are close to many of our employees and I’m pleased with the eagerness to assist in the relief effort during their time of need,” says Freight Capital President, John Downing.
The American Red Cross remains the leader in emergency response and Freight Capital was certain they could rely on them to assist the victims of this natural disaster. The Japanese division of the International Red Cross was one of the first responders on scene in Japan helping victims of the earthquake and resulting tsunami. “We’re confident our contribution will go where it is needed most,” Downing added.
