Honda donates 40 generators to Hurricane Helene relief efforts | Local News | greensburgdailynews.com

Honda's EU3200i portable generator.

Continuing its efforts to aid those affected by Hurricane Helene, Honda recently donated 40 of its EU3200i portable generators to the American Red Cross to support families in North Carolina who remain without power in the aftermath of hurricane-related flooding in the area.

This in-kind contribution is in addition to an Oct. 3 pledge of $500,000 to the American Red Cross by the Honda family of companies in America, including Honda North Carolina in Swepsonville and Honda Aircraft Company in Greensboro. Honda Aircraft Company also provided use of the innovative HondaJet to transport humanitarian relief aid to hard-hit areas of the region.

At less than 60 pounds, the EU3200i is the lightest, most compact 3000-watt series Honda generator and will provide reliable power for families, helping to operate furnaces, refrigerators and other necessary items. Honda Powersports dealers in North Carolina took delivery of the generators and prepared them for the American Red Cross prior to their deployment.

In addition to the generators, 700 Engineering Learning Lunchboxes will be donated to Honda partner Greensboro Science Center to support students who have been displaced or are learning from home in Western North Carolina. These kits will provide up to 10 hours of hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) content to help fill educational gaps resulting from Hurricane Helene.

Beyond the corporate donations for disaster recovery, Honda and Acura Financial Services continue to offer payment extensions and lease deferrals to customers impacted by the natural disaster. Honda is also providing its associates with an opportunity to join the hurricane relief effort through its matching fund and volunteer programs.

Honda started operations in the United States with American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in 1959. Today, Honda employs over 30,000 associates in America engaged in the development, manufacturing, sales and service support of Honda and Acura automobiles, Honda power equipment, Honda powersports products and the HondaJet advanced light jet.
