Canned water,Dear Utol: Catfish Episode 46 yogurt trucks, and free flights: Major companies across the country are improvising ways to help Houston flood victims as fallout from Harvey continues to devastate the area.
The storm and subsequent flooding have already killed at least eight people, displaced an estimated 30,000, and likely caused tens of billions of dollars worth of property damage.
SEE ALSO: Houston's local businesses pitch in as Harvey's flooding wreaks havocCorporations like Budweiser-parent Anheuser-Busch, Walmart, and Duracell have opted to redirect business operations to play whatever small role they can in feeding, sheltering, and rescuing those affected. Many other companies have donated to the Red Cross's relief fund or vowed to match customers or employees who do so.
Here's a breakdown of everything corporate America is doing to provide aid:
