Office Essentials donating supplies for tornado victims

On March 2, Office Essentials, who has dual headquarters in St. Louis and Kansas City, delivered to Catholic Charities paper products, cleaning supplies and hope for those impacted by the Perry County Tornado.

With the support from Jim Porter, President of Office Essentials, each employee joined in the relief efforts, from gathering the items to loading the supplies. “It was truly a team effort,” said Jeff Suchanek, Strategic Business Development Manager of Office Essentials. “In just a few hours, we all came together to donate a variety of items that would come in handy for these families.”

Office Essentials donated over 400 hand sanitizer bottles, 180 paper towels, four cartons of wet wipes, seven cartons of Clorox cleaners, packing tape, rubber gloves, markers, rubber bands and fleece blankets. “We are thrilled at this opportunity to help with the relief efforts,” added Mr. Suchanek.  “Our people wanted to share what we have on our shelves to the people in Perry County.”

On Saturday, March 4, Catholic Charities will distribute these supplies graciously donated by Office Essentials at the Multi-Agency Resource Center in Perryville, MO.
