The J.D. Irving group of companies continues to support humanitarian relief efforts in Haiti. The company has matched $40,000 in employee contributions for a total contribution of $80,000 to the Red Cross.
Jim Irving says it is the company's hope that the employee's contribution along with the international effort will mean that the people affected by this tragedy continue to get help.
John Byrne of the Red Cross says with the committment from the J.D.I group they can continue to provide emergency medical care, food, water and shelter to 320, 000 people in Haiti.
The JDI Group has also provided a truckload of diapers and tissue from Irving Personal Care and Irving Tissue in Dieppe.
