“As a company based in Texas for over 35 years, EPI wanted to give families in our community one less thing to worry about during this stressful time,” said Ron Phelan, CEO of EPI. “Many schools and individuals have reached out to EPI to see how they can help. Not only did we want to lend a hand but, we are providing an opportunity for others to offer their support. The EPI 25% matching program is our way to increase the support of others and for us to directly give.”

EPI is partnering with the iHeartMEDIA New Orleans to promote the online donation drive to help increase the support for families in need.

“Helping neighbors is important for iHeartMEDIA. Texas has helped us so much in recent years, we wanted to give back,” said Christina Thomas, promotions director of iHeartMEDIA New Orleans.

Each pack includes 13 items such as paper, pens, colored pencils, crayons, glue sticks, composition book, folders and more. Packs will be distributed to Houston and Southeast Texas school districts.

This program is an extension of the EPI Outreach Program that works with corporations, nonprofits and churches to provide supplies for students in their communities.
