ARLINGTON, TX,
September 9, 2005.
David
Jones, the founder of M.A.R.S. International
donated $15,000.00 to Mission Arlington’s Katrina
Relief effort on behalf of M.A.R.S.
International, Inc. this week.
“We
have done well this year and it is a joy to
share that success with folks in need,”
said Jones, who serves on the Mission
Arlington Communications Committee and
regularly contributes to their efforts. “I
find they fully utilize my donations to
benefit those in need, very little is lost
in administration costs.”
M.A.R.S.
employees are contributing individually in a
number of different disaster relief efforts,
including earlier this week when the staff
collectively donated a pickup load of
non-perishables for the
Fort Worth
dealer Fran Kent. Frank Kent, a customer of
M.A.R.S., shut down their operation for a
full day to collect non-perishable items for
the Katrina relief effort and M.A.R.S.
employees were eager to participate. The
effort filled two semi-trailer loads of
non-perishable goods for the Katrina relief
effort.
“Several
M.A.R.S. Operators were personally affected
by the hurricane and we are making sure that
their needs are met during this time,”
said Jayson Jones, president of M.A.R.S.
“We are also encouraging all of our
Operators across the country to donate to
Mission Arlington and other similar relief
efforts which providing assistance to the
victims of this tragedy. Our hearts and
prayers go out to all of those personally
affected by this terrible event.”
M.A.R.S.
believes that every small business should
organize an effort to help our fellow
citizens in this time of need. We intend to
provide what assistance we can whenever it
is called for.
