Walgreens aiding in flood relief efforts

DEERFIELD, Ill. Moving to aid victims of local flooding, Walgreens said Thursday it is providing water, hygiene products and medical supplies to local shelters in the hard-hit Nashville area.

The company is also taking customer donations to support the flood relief campaign at checkout at any of the more than 80 Nashville area Walgreens stores, including its 15 24-hour locations.  All donations benefit the Nashville Area Red Cross.

“We’re here to help in any way we can,” said Connie Latta, Tennessee market VP for the 7,507-store drug chain. “We’ll continue to lend our assistance and support to residents in our tight-knit community as we work together through this difficult time.”
