Disasters can cause people to lose everything they’ve worked for instantly. There may be many people around us whose lives have changed drastically because of natural disasters or sudden accidents. When calamity strikes and leaves its mark, WeLoveU is there to help families and their loved ones clean, rebuild, and prepare for a hopeful future.
A winter storm left Texas in a state of emergency. The cold weather caused pipelines to break, properties to flood, power outages, and a water shortage statewide. The historic storm forced families to battle freezing temperatures and limited accessibility to running water.
The International WeLoveU Foundation partnered with WSS and Reebok to donate 6,000 water cases to families affected by the extreme winter snowstorm. In Texas, WeLoveU volunteers personally delivered the water at select WSS stores.
In an effort to support the health and safety of our teams in the Greater Houston and Dallas area, as well as our communities across these cities, it was without hesitation that we step up to assist however we can. We are extremely grateful for our brand partner Reebok, as well as our partnership with the International WeLoveU Foundation, to be able to make these contributions promptly and seamlessly in this urgent time.
On Sunday, September 5, 2021, 140 volunteers of the International WeLoveU Foundation helped residents in Little Falls, NJ, clean up their homes from the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Residents reached out to WeLoveU for assistance, remembering their relief efforts in 2018 when the community was overwhelmed by historic flooding. The volunteers helped disinfect homes, remove wet drywall and furniture, clean salvageable items, and pull up floors.
It’s because of all your help and all of these blue shirts around me that these many hands make light work.”
