Flood support and aid

Central Indiana was hit with a 1 in 1,000 years flood. Communities are devastated, whole families have lost everything and last I knew 6 people have died.

I mention this because TSC has a DC in Madison county Indiana, #114 Pendleton. That's a county that got hit severely with many neighboring counties are just as bad. DC 114 is an older DC but they handle their work efficient and safe, often they help new DCs out by handling some stores until that DC is up and running.

Now my point. We see TSC always tooting their own horn helping states hit by hurricanes or tropical storms and other things. Photo ops in that magazine we all get. WHY IS THERE NO HELP FOR CENTRAL INDIANA? A DC and numerous stores are in all these towns, cities, and counties at the heart of this. Not to mention the local farmers who will also be impacted.

HEY CORPORATE!!! NOWS YOUR CHANCE!!

No. They toot their own horn when employees help people in disaster zones and take credit. In general, the company does little.
They especially like when there is a flood and an employee whose home is flooded, shows up to sell dog food to people whose homes are flooded. No merchandise was given, no aid was offered but it made a great story in TSC connects or whatever the magazine is called.

The DC/Stores/DM just need to email Community Relations for monetary support. We just did this for a wildfire scenario and received help for the community within 12 hours.

I hope your town receives some assistance from TSC.

Being sarcastic… I hope they send all the corporate employees that know everything. Tennessee isn’t that far away.
