Cherry Hill, NJ (PRWEB) September 14, 2005 -- In response to the nations recent natural disaster, Internet retailer Luggage Online, along with American Flyer, donated 100 suitcases to Hurricane Katrina evacuees today.
Thousands of people who were affected by the disaster are being transported from location to location, and many are carrying their personal possessions in garbage bags. "We knew we wanted to help in some way and this idea actually came from our customers. We received several emails last week suggesting that we send suitcases to the evacuees," Tim Jacobsen, VP of Ecommerce, said. "I read a news article about a guy in Detroit who owns a Ramada Inn hotel. He opened the hotel to hundreds of Katrina evacuees to give them a place to live indefinitely. They need luggage, toiletries, blankets, school supplies, toys, and other items," Jacobsen continued.
As a result, Luggage Online shipped 100 large American Flyer wheeled duffle bags to the Detroit hotel this week.
