Companies Rally the Community to Fill Donated 18-Wheeler with Supplies for Sandy Victims

Many residents have friends and family impacted by Superstorm Sandy, and to help victims as they continue to recover -- and to make Thanksgiving a little more comfortable -- Broomfield-based communications provider Level 3 Communications has teamed up with Graebel Moving to rally the Front Range to come together and fill a donated Graebel truck with much-needed supplies for victims of Superstorm Sandy. The truck will then be driven to the East Coast to distribute the supplies.

For those looking for more ways to help victims, Level 3 and Graebel Moving have asked the community to come by the Level 3 Headquarters this Saturday (Nov. 17) between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to drop off any of the listed items below, or to volunteer to help sort and load the truck.
