“Compassion is at the core of what we do at MITER Brands,” said Matt DeSoto, President and CEO of MITER Brands. “Not only is it important to us as a company to help people protect their homes and families before and during a storm, but to also serve as a reliable ally post-storm. It is our goal to aid in the rebuilding of homes and communities, as well as support the well-being of individuals impacted by the storm. We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Builders FirstSource and the Greater Houston Builders Association to carry out this mission and help many Houstonians in need.”

MITER Brands partnered with Builders FirstSource, a MITER Brands dealer and the nation's largest supplier of building products, components, and services, as well as the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA), to host the six-hour event on Wednesday, July 17 at 9511 W. Sam Houston Parkway N. in Houston. Representatives from MITER Brands and various volunteers from Builders FirstSource and the GHBA passed out relief supplies, including more than 38,000 bottles of water, 3,556 batteries, 200 flashlights, gloves, and extension cords, among other items.

Two trucks from MITER Brands facilities in Venice, Florida traveled more than 1,000 miles to bring supplies to the event.

“Following the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl to the Houston community, BFS Houston Custom Windows was honored to partner with MITER Brands and the GHBA,” said Slade Sloan, General Manager of the Custom Windows Division for BFS Houston Custom Windows. “We are deeply committed to serving, rebuilding, and restoring our city as quickly as possible!”

Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Matagorda, Texas on the morning of Monday, July 8, as a Category 1 storm, with maximum sustained winds reported at 80 mph by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm quickly moved northward over Texas, with the eyewall directly impacting the Houston metropolitan region and causing widespread, lengthy power outages.

“We were eager to support when Builders FirstSource and MITER Brands came to us about hosting a disaster recovery distribution,” said Aimee Bertrand, CEO of GHBA. “We are grateful to our homebuilding members and HomeAid Houston for swiftly springing into action to help us distribute these much-needed supplies to the community.”
