We Got By With A Little Help From Our (Journalist) Friends
When you’re in the business of helping people, there never seem to be enough hours in the day. This has been especially true in recent years, when several devastating hurricanes (not to mention a collection of tornadoes, floods and wildfires) have kept ALAN even busier than usual.
Faced with a choice between using our time to do things like arrange another urgent shipment or keeping our messaging up-to-date, we’ve chosen Door Number One. That’s why you won’t find a huge number of news releases on this page.
Even so, the word about ALAN has still managed to get out, thanks to the many media allies who have carried positive stories like the ones that are also featured below. Their efforts have played a key role in helping us raise awareness about everything from urgent needs to requests for volunteers and donations, and we are supremely grateful for their coverage.

Generac Foundation Awards American Logistics Aid Network Grant To Support Disaster Response
Lakeland, FL. – The American Logistics Aid Network announced today that the Generac Foundation has awarded a $10,000 grant to support ALAN’s Coordinating Logistics Solutions program.
“Coordinated logistics solutions very often spell the difference between aid that reaches disaster survivors in time to save lives and aid that gets delayed because of overwhelmed supply chains,” said ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton. “We are thrilled that Generac believes in ALAN’s mission to improve disaster response and relief efforts through targeted supply chain services.”
Generac’s grant will be used to expand ALAN’s Coordinating Logistics Solutions program – an operational pillar of ALAN’s mission to save lives and reduce suffering by connecting non-profits serving disaster response efforts with donated logistics services and materials.
“One of the focus areas of the Generac Foundation is disaster response and preparedness,” said Kelly Skindzelewski, Community Programs Manager at Generac. “The American Logistics Aid Network helps provide critical infrastructure support when it is needed most.”
