Ram Nation Volunteers have always been ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.  Recently, a group of Ram Nation Volunteers headed to Flint Michigan to help deliver needed drinking water.  The attention of Ram Nation now turns south to help Texas deal with flooding that occurred over the recent Memorial Day weekend.

Ram Nation Volunteers from local dealerships and the Ram Truck brand’s Southwest Business Center teamed up with the First Response Team of America over the weekend to help those in Rosenberg, Texas with the flooding that occurred there.  They delivered supplies and helped clean up homes that were damaged.

Ram brand has been helping with the First Response Team of America since they formed a partnership with them in 2012.  In that time, they’ve donated more than $300,000 to the group and have had numerous operations across the US in areas hit by natural disasters.

Ram Nation was a group formed in 2012 by those that loved the Ram brand and wanted to use their trucks to help out those in need.  Ram Nation consists of volunteers with trucks to dealership employees.  If you want to find out more about Ram Nation and would like to find out how to join, visit here.

The floods in Texas have hit the communities hard and Response Team of America is heading there to help out with help from Ram.

The First Response Team of America is a non-profit organization that heads into areas suffering from disasters to provide relief.  This group depends entirely on donations to work and Ram has provided the group with both vehicles and money to help it give aid to those in need.

They were not alone in helping the area of Wimberly affected by the flood.  They were supported in the area also by Ram Nation, a group of Ram truck owners in the area as well as a local dealership that helped with trucks and volunteers.

They provided help to Fran Barrington’s house that was washed away.  The First Response Team and the volunteers were able to salvage portions of Fran’s collectibles, including family photos.  Through their hard work, while they weren’t able to save everything, they did make one homeowners experience with loss easier to handle.

Ram Truck & Chrysler Donate to the First Response Team of America to Help With Oklahoma After Tornado

UntitledThe Chrysler Foundation, the charity arm of Chrysler, has donated $100,000 dollars to the First Response Team of America to help with the efforts underway to aid Oklahoma after the destructive Tornado. The First Response Team of America is a nonprofit disaster relief organization that helps local first responders and aids with cleanup efforts.

What the First Response Team of America does is head into an area that’s been struck by a disaster and lends a helping hand. They assist with the rubble, water rescues, clearing roads, and a host of other things to help the nearby communities. In order to do this, they require heavy duty equipment and Chrysler has been a supporter for a while now in that regard. The company has already donated three heavy-duty trucks to the team. Ram trucks are included in the long list of heavy equipment they need to handle the cleanup.

Last year, Ram began a partnership with The Weather Channel Companies and the First Response Team of America. The Weather Channel Companies also started the series “Responding by Storm” which reports on the work of the First Response Team of America.

Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Ram, has this to say, “We know that the road to recovery for residents of Moore and Oklahoma City will be long. The Chrysler Foundation is proud to support First Response Team of America’s efforts to help the people of Oklahoma get back on their feet.”

Chrysler has a history of support for communities dealing with extreme disasters. Just last year, here in New York, Ram donated 20 Ram 1500 Tradesman trucks and $100,000 to the American Red Cross in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims in Oklahoma still dealing with this horrible tradgey.  Please visit the First Response Team of America page and lend any support you can for your fellow Americans.
