The US LBM Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by specialty building materials distributor US LBM, committed $100,000 to assist recovery efforts for communities impacted by the recent tornadoes in the south and midwest regions of the United States.
The US LBM Foundation said it will also match donations made up to $50,000 through its website, uslbmfoundation.org/relief, through December 25. All proceeds donated will go to organizations assisting communities and victims of the tornadoes.
“One of the primary reasons we established the US LBM Foundation was to respond to natural disasters, and these funds allow us to support those who need help after these devastating tornadoes,” US LBM Foundation Chairman and US LBM president and CEO L.T. Gibson said in a news release.
The US LBM Foundation has donated nearly $1 million to charitable organizations since its inception in 2013. Buffalo Grove, Ill.-based distributor US LBM offers a comprehensive portfolio of specialty products, including windows, doors, millwork, wallboard, roofing, siding, engineered components, and cabinetry.
