KENNER, La. — The facilities of commercial laundry equipment manufacturer Pellerin Milnor Corp. sustained minimal damage here from Hurricane Ida but the homes of at least one-quarter of its workforce weren’t as lucky. Because of this, the company has created an Employee Relief Fund and welcomes donations.
In a prepared statement, the company says it has worked to return to full operations following the impact of Ida, which made landfall Aug. 30 as a Category 4 storm. The manufacturer returned to full production last week.
“Unfortunately, a number of our employees suffered significant damage to their homes. We received calls expressing interest in helping out Milnor employees during this time. A Milnor Employee Relief Fund is now available for deposits by anyone interested in helping. If you’d like to donate, please send checks made out to Milnor Employee Relief Fund – Ida and mail to … PO Box 400, Kenner, LA 70063-0400.”
Milnor expressed appreciation for “the prayers and support” it has received from people around the world following the storm.
