“Our hearts go out to those impacted by the tornado,” said CountryMark President and CEO Matt Smorch. “We hope our donation has a positive impact on the efforts of these communities to repair the physical and emotional impacts from the tornado.”
CountryMark donated to the American Red Cross of Indiana – Southwest Chapter $10,000 for tornado relief in Indiana’s Posey and Gibson counties. CountryMark has also committed to matching dollar for dollar on employee donations for the July 9 tornado relief efforts collected on or before August 1.
The CountryMark refinery in Posey County was not impacted by the July tornado.
