Disaster Relief by Fodac
Fodac works with emergency response partners.
FODAC has worked with local, state, and national emergency response partners. Since our involvement in Hurricane Katrina. As members of Georgia and National VOAD (Volunteer Agencies Active in Disasters), FODAC provides critical HME when local resources cannot assist.
How we provide relief
- We have national vendor relationships that contribute needed items for disasters. We have delivered HME in 20 states and 3 territories to support disaster relief.
- Our 35,000 square foot warehouse serves as a distribution center for our partners, companies and organizations that are donating critical supplies.
- Our staff work with FEMA as “boots on the ground” to assist and manage donations of HME.
- “FODAC is considered an essential service during the COVID-19 crisis.”-Sarah Jackson, the Community Partnership Manager for GEMA.
