In the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, the Port of Beaumont launched a campaign to assist port employees impacted by the storm locally and at the Port of Lake Charles. Cooper/Ports America was happy to contribute tarps, fans and small air conditioners to help provide port workers with relief from the summer heat. Other items collected by the Port included canned food, antiseptic wipes, fuel and water. The Port of Beaumont estimates that more than $3,000 in supplies were donated to help with recovery efforts.
