Travelers Aid Executive Director Edward Powers accepts one of many loads of supplies generously donated by BELFOR in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's wrath of the Gulf Coast Region. BELFOR also made a donation of $8,000 to the agency. Ironically, BELFOR is the premiere disaster recovery company in the United States and is playing a vital role in the Gulf Coast reconstruction process, while helping displaced evacuees here in the Atlanta area.
