Naples, Florida October 4, 2022 — In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian across the Southwest Coast of Florida, ReRoute Americas’ thoughts and prayers remain with the thousands Hurricane Ian has impacted right in our hometown of Naples. ReRoute expresses our sincere appreciation to the first responders and emergency personnel who sprang into action to help our neighbors.

ReRoute Americas is an American-owned and operated company headquartered in Naples, Florida, that is committed to helping the food and beverage industry meet the challenging needs of single-use plastics. Unfortunately, many in our community continue to feel the devasting effects of Hurricane Ian. Overnight, some of our customers lost their businesses, homes, and everything that mattered to them.  Their employees and patrons too have suffered unimaginable losses and are now beginning to pick up the pieces. ReRoute encourages Floridians and Americans to support Naples, Ft. Myers, Sanibel, Captiva, Marco Island, and surrounding areas through aid and commerce.

“In the past week, our community has experienced catastrophic devastation,” said Patrick Bishop, CEO and Founder of ReRoute Americas. “Thankfully, our team members at ReRoute are safe, though many have suffered loss as well. As members of the Southwest Florida community, we believe we have a responsibility to help those suffering. ReRoute will do everything in our power to help our community during these challenging times.  We encourage others to do the same and support Florida businesses,” said Bishop.

The Florida Disaster Fund is the State of Florida’s official private fund established to provide financial assistance to our communities as they respond to and recover from times of emergency or disaster.
