Description
Chantilly, Virginia – Operation Interdependence ®, a major U.S. troop support group known for large care package shipments known as civilian rations ® to troops overseas, announced it has teamed with the International Webcasting Association (IWA) for a live webcast to invite support for it's effort to re-direct the group's vast infrastructure to deliver civilian rations ® to Katrina survivors. After the group received authorization from the Office of Louisiana Governor to proceed with the effort, Operation Interdependence ® asked the IWA to assist with a live webcast from the studios of TV Worldwide to raise awareness about the effort while providing instructions for efficient care package collection. The group, led by former military personnel renowned for expertise in logistics support, is stressing that just like in Iraq and Afghanistan, efficient distribution and delivery of materiel is integral to making sure the supplies aren't wasted.
"We are pleased to work with the IWA and TV Worldwide to help us get the word out to Americans everywhere on how they can help us get these needed supplies into Louisiana and the gulf coast areas and do it effectively," stated retired Chief Warrant Officer and OI President Albert R. Renteria. "We are tapping our resources in several states around the country to maximize efficient distribution and are pleased to be working with the Office of Louisiana Governor and other officials in the affected areas to make sure the supplies get to those who need it most. Even U.S troops in Iraq have offered to send their care packages back to support the effort."
The event will feature representatives of Operation Interdependence ® and volunteers who will discuss the organization's efforts that have recently garnered national media attention in addition to addressing specifics on how webcast viewers can help.
