Roseville,
Minn. - Polaris Industries
has donated 10 military-grade Ultra-Light Vehicles to The Salvation Army, to
assist in their relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. The MVRS
700 4x4 vehicles, built to operate in extreme conditions, will enhance The
Salvation Army's ability to transport food, water and other critical supplies
to areas hard-hit by the devastating Oct. 29 storm.
The vehicles shipped earlier this week from Polaris' plant
in Osceola, Wis.,
to Salvation Army locations in New York and New Jersey. The
Salvation Army continues to provide hot meals, drinks, emotional support and
other critical services to hundreds of thousands of Hurricane Sandy survivors
and relief workers.
"Our thoughts are with those struggling in the aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy," said Polaris CEO Scott Wine. "The Salvation Army is working
tirelessly to ease their hardship, and we hope the vehicles we provide will
hasten relief efforts and help restore some sort of normalcy to those affected
by the storm."
