Kudos to Valley Yellow Pages on Haitian Relief Efforts

Kudos to Valley Yellow Pages which raised $21,000 to help those in the aftermath of the massive earthquake that struck Haiti earlier this year. The company has also been encouraging other local companies to donate as well.

The Fresno-based company matched dollar for dollar the contributions made by 79 employees who donated through payroll deductions and vacation time pay.

Sieg Fischer, president and CEO of Valley Yellow Pages noted in the company’s press release that:

“This is an easy way that we can help those in desperate need and we challenge other local businesses to do the same.  With other events displacing the Haiti earthquake in the news, it’s important to realize that donations are still greatly needed, and whatever employees are able to give quickly adds up.”

The company indicated that all of the funds were sent directly to the Red Cross and Salvation Army, specifically marked for Haiti relief efforts.
