Andrea Underwood, director of community relations and marketing for Paducah Power System, presents a check to Jessica Toren, executive director of the Paducah Area Chapter of the American Red Cross (left) Wednesday. The check was for $2,500 and was one of three $2,500 donations Paducah area utility companies made that day. Glen Anderson, general manager for Paducah Water (second from right), and John Hodges, executive director of the Paducah-McCracken County Joint Sewer Agency (far right), are shown waiting their turns to present the checks from their agencies. Red Cross was targeted for these donations in the wake of the flooding emergency of recent weeks in the area that caused it to exhaust much of the money it uses to help victims of disasters. “This will help us tremendously,” Toren said. “We have to remember, with this flooding, there is still a long road ahead of us and all of the homeowners so our help is still going to be needed for quite a while.” In addition, Underwood revealed the final numbers from the recent Stuff the Truck drive Paducah Power hosted, in cooperation with WPSDLocal6. A total of 1,700 clean-up kits were formed from the donations collected, while a total of 25,000 bulk distribution items also were received. Those also went to the Red Cross who distributed the items to flood victims. “The Paducah community has just been phenomenal,” Toren added. “This is beyond anything we could’ve expected.” In addition, Atmos Energy made a $2,500 donation of its own last week, bringing the total to $10,000 from the four agencies.
