Individuals and organizations are finding creative ways to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Case in point: An email sent from KraussMaffei’s U.S. office in Florence, Ky., asked “our valued customers to help those in need” and urged them to “Donate $1,000 – Get a $1,000 Credit for Spare Parts.”

On Oct. 17, Paul Caprio, president and CEO of KraussMaffei’s U.S. operations emailed an update on just how well the charitable drive went, noting that 80% of the donations coming from six big givers.
