Storm Smart launches 'We Care' program

Storm Smart Industries, the largest hurricane protection company in Florida, has launched the "We Care" program, intended to protect the homes of needing, deserving residents of Southwest Florida.

Throughout each month through the 2009 Hurricane Season (June-November), Storm Smart will accept nominations via e-mail and review each of them. At the first of each month the Selection Committee will award a complete storm protection package to one deserving household. This will include code-approved protection on all eligible openings of the home, at absolutely no cost to the homeowner.

Nominations can be submitted by anyone to WeCare@StormSmart.com. Include the name, address and phone number of the nominee, any pertinent details you think the selection committee should know, along with your contact information for possible follow-up questions. The only stipulation is the home must be owner-occupied.

"Southwest Florida has been very good to us and we feel strongly about the 'pay it forward' way of thinking," said Storm Smart CEO Brian Rist. If we can identify those who are most in need, we feel a civic responsibility to help where we can. This is our community, let's look out for each other."
