Dorcy helps Tornado Victims
When John Turner placed his order online at www.dorcydirect.com he had no idea the help that his community was about to receive. After reviewing the weekends orders, Dorcy's IT director Mark Craddock noticed John's order.

Dorcy donated various flashlights that could be handed out to the officers, and residents within the affected disaster area. Dorcy also sent LED glow stick lights for the children staying at the disaster relief shelters. John Turner stated the flashlights were a much appreciated by the residents and that LED glow stick lights were very uplifting for the homeless children. Turner stated "as we left the shelter there was a bunch of children outside playing, and as I looked in my rearview mirror it resembled a scene from Star Wars."
A letter received from Interim Chief of Police Tim Summerlin, stated "I wanted to send you a personal note of thanks for your generous donation of lights and glow sticks to the recovery efforts currently underway in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This has been a trying time for our community; the scale of the catastrophe is unlike anything we have ever experienced in our area in modern history. However, in the midst of tragedy, I continue to be amazed at the outpouring of support from good folks like Dorcy who give of their time, energy and resources to help those who are hurting. It provides hope and encouragement to all of those affected and an assurance that we will be able to define this moment not simply by the tragedy, but by the goodness of our society."
