“I am so proud of our LIBERTY Outreach Team for taking immediate action and working with our partners to aid in hurricane recovery efforts throughout the state,” said Michael Carrillo, Vice President, East Coast State Markets. “Even items like toothbrushes and toothpaste can be useful, especially when you don’t have them.”
