We partner with the American Red Cross to effectively allocate corporate and employee donations to communities reeling from earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes and superstorms. This past year was notable for impacts to the Western Pacific island nations and territories we serve. In April and again in August, two intense typhoons—Maysak and bigger, badder Soudelor—ransacked the islands of Saipan, Chuuk, Yap and others, destroying great swaths of homes, farms and businesses and critical infrastructure. Matson responded generously with cash to the Red Cross and partnered with a network of supporters to send multiple donated shipments of relief supplies and rebuilding materials. Groups of Saipan expats in Hawaii, Long Beach and Seattle sent supplies by the 40-foot container load full. 1 2 3 2 MATSON FOUNDATION 4 5 6 7 [1] Civilians and military on Guam partnered to send relief to Saipan by the 45-foot container load.
