RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond Window Corporation is helping the Ricky Johnson and Friends Foundation help others during the COVID-19 crisis.
"Richmond Window Corporation saw a recent news story on your broadcast station about how the Ricky Johnson and Friends Foundation had their catalytic converters stolen from their vans," a company spokesperson wrote to CBS 6. "These vans are used for delivering supplies to people in the community. When we saw this, we reached out to the foundation. Just yesterday, our organization delivered 100 care packages, in partnership with the Ricky Johnson and Friends Foundation to frontline healthcare workers, fire stations, and the Henrico police department. This project is part of our effort to help empower the community that has helped build our company for over 66 years -- especially during this uncertain time."
Richmond Window Corporation vowed to help the Ricky Johnson and Friends Foundation at least once a week.
