WHO: Families, individuals and first responders in need of personal care items, cleaning products or laundry services in the wake of Hurricane Laura.
WHAT: The Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Laundry Units have been deployed to support relief and recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Laura. The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry vehicles will begin services in Lake Charles, Louisiana, providing free, full-service laundry to residents affected by the recent hurricane. Residents can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) to be washed, dried and folded free of charge. All washable clothing types will be accepted with the exception of heavy bedding.
In partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries, P&G will also distribute free personal care kits with everyday essentials as well as cleaning products to meet basic hygiene and home care needs directly into the affected areas of those impacted by the disaster.
In line with updated COVID-19 guidelines regarding operations, P&G and partner, Matthew 25: Ministries, have established new safety protocols and processes to allow for the distribution of free laundry supplies and services to those who have been impacted by the disaster, while keeping staff and beneficiaries at Tide Loads of Hope distribution and activation sites protected. Safety precautions include the deployment of both Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundromat units to allow for social distancing on-site, increased use of PPE, increased sanitation practices, signage instructions and non-contact registration. In addition, the team will adhere to all local health agency COVID-19 guidelines and ask individuals who are visiting the mobile laundry units to wear masks.
WHY: Hurricane Laura devastated Louisiana as a Category 4 storm with wind gusts of 150 mph causing heavy storm surge as far inland as 30 miles in parts of the state. The storm damaged thousands of homes and left many without power or access to clean water.
P&G has a history of giving back to the communities where we live and work, and we want to provide everyday essentials to those who need it most to help bring a sense of normalcy in this time of need. These services are free and available to people affected by the disaster and the volunteers who are helping to respond.
WHERE: Starting on Tuesday, September 1, the team will collect laundry from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. CDT at the Walmart listed below or until daily capacity has been reached (two loads per household). The team will also be distributing personal care kits and cleaning supplies directly into the affected areas.
The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry units will be located at:
Walmart Supercenter
3451 Nelson Rd.
Lake Charles, LA 70605
**For the most up-to-date information on the location of these services, please visit Tide’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels at https://www.facebook.com/Tide, @Tide and https://www.instagram.com/tidelaundry/?hl=en**
ABOUT TIDE LOADS OF HOPE: At Tide, we believe in the power of clean and in times of crisis, hope can come from the look, smell, and feel of clean clothes. Therefore, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Tide created Loads of Hope: a mobile laundromat developed to restore a sense of normalcy and dignity through the basic comfort of clean clothing for those in the midst of chaos. Since 2005, Tide has helped renew hope for more than 48,000 families across the country affected by natural disasters – from tornadoes in Missouri to hurricanes in Texas and wildfires in California. Powered by Matthew: 25 Ministries, a top-ranked, international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization, the trucks are equipped with high-efficiency washers and dryers donated by Whirlpool and can do up to 200 loads of laundry per day for communities in need.
PRODUCT BRANDS: P&G brands to be distributed include Always, Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Dawn, Febreze, Ivory, Gillette, Mr. Clean, Olay, Old Spice, Oral-B, Pampers, Pantene, Secret, Swiffer, Tampax, Tide and Venus.
PARTNER: P&G provides these services in partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization. More information can be found at www.m25m.org.

Procter & Gamble $PG Retreats As Investors Appetite For Risk Increases
Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) is a leading consumer goods company that has been surging higher in 2019. Traders should note, PG stock bottomed in May 2018 at $70.73 a share. Since that low pivot, the stock has rallied as high as $111.75 a share made on June 14, 2019. Today, leading consumer goods stocks such as PG, KMB, SJM, CLX and others are declining lower on the session. It seems that traders and investors are selling the consumer goods stocks today on expectations of a lot of central bank stimulus and possible renewed negotiations between the U.S. and China. You see, the consumer goods stocks have been viewed as the safe haven trade with a lot of market uncertainty brewing since last year. This afternoon, PG stock is trading lower by $1.20 to $109.79 a share. Traders can watch the $104.00 area as very solid daily chart support. This is where the stock was defended on June 3, 2019 before making new all time highs. Should this level be retested it should be very solid support for another long side trade opportunity.

PG to lose billions in revenue in China tariff battle. Chinese Employees are forbidden to eat at McDonald’s or Kentucky Fried Chicken. They are not allowed to purchase P&G [Proctor and Gamble, a U.S. maker of household products], Amway [U.S. maker of health and beauty products], or any other American brands. Employees must not go to the United States as a tourist. ”
The notice said the rules were in effect as of the day of its issuance, and that the company’s trade union would enforce them. Those who violate the notice will be dismissed from the company, without exception.
The notice attracted a lot of attention online.
“Computers should be banned as well, because it is a U.S. invention,” one netizen said ironically.
Chinese state-run media have begun ramping up anti-American propaganda, as the U.S.-China trade dispute recently escalated with tit-for-tat tariff increases. The company’s memo came to light shortly after the hawkish state-run newspaper Global Times in a May 13 editorial called on the Chinese public to “fight a people’s war” with the United States.
In an internal announcement issued May 16 by the Jinggang Motor Vehicle Inspection Station located in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province, the company echoed the propaganda, explaining that China’s developments in military, science, and technology have frightened and worried the United States.
As a result, the United States started the trade war with China. “To help our country win this war, company authorities have decided that all employees must immediately stop purchasing and using American products,” the notice read. The refrain that the United States is impeding China’s rise on the global stage has been repeated in much of Chinese state media lately.

Gillette razors have caused acne on my face for years. I didn't realize it until I boycotted their products and let my beard grow out. Thank you Gillette for this commercial. It's the most useful thing you have ever produced for me.?

Men have become more and more feminized in modern society. Boys are expected to act like girls in the classroom and are punished or put on drugs for being more active and rambunctious than girls. The problem isn't that they pressured to be masculine, it's the fact that their masculinity is being systematically repressed, with negative consequences.?

and go broke, otherwise I never would have stopped using the Gillette
Fusion razor and my loving wife never would have thrown out all Procter
