STOBER employees deliver donations to flood victims in Floyd County

Floyd County, Kentucky, was severely impacted by a historic flood in February when the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River crested at 43.35 feet. The flooding, caused by excessive rainfall, prompted officials to declare a state of emergency as residents were trapped in vehicles and homes and more than 300 flood-related calls came into the county’s 911 center.

Hayden Hall, STOBER power transmission field service engineer, grew up in Floyd County and instantly sprang into action to try to help alleviate the devastation in his hometown. He knew the generous team at STOBER would help him.

All it took was one company-wide email from Hayden and a few boxes placed in STOBER’s breakrooms to begin collecting items for the flood victims. Some STOBER teams even used part of their team-building budgets to fund extra donations. Cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items, bottled water, clothing, personal hygiene products, and more–the STOBER team came in clutch with donations.

In multiple trips, Hayden was able to personally deliver the supplies donated by his coworkers at STOBER. Beyond all the material donations, Hayden was able to deliver a monetary donations to his elementary school to help 10 families who lost everything in the flooding.

“I’m not sure how to say thank you for all the support,” he said.

Hayden’s willingness to organize the donation drive, along with the generosity of the STOBER team, serve as a powerful reminder of the company’s culture and compassion. The impact of these contributions is immeasurable, but the effort truly embodies the spirit of STOBER Serves, the company’s volunteer program.
