Porter's Camera Gives Funds, Free Photos to Tornado Victims Local Photography Outfit Gives Back a Piece of Home

Cedar Falls (PRWEB) June 5, 2008 -- Porter's Camera Store (www.porters.com) announced today that it will provide free photo reprints for those affected by last week's catastrophic storms.

Porter's Camera will also donate a percentage of its profits to help residents of Parkersburg and other affected communities with food, shelter and rebuilding efforts.

On May 28, an EF-5 tornado ripped through nearby Parkersburg, Iowa, killing seven and injuring 70.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has since estimated damages to be in excess of $5.8 million, and the Red Cross has reported that nearly 600 homes were severely damaged or destroyed--along with personal belongings, such as treasured family photographs.

From June 1 through July 31, two Porter's locations in Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids will print the first 50 photos free of charge for victims of the Memorial Day tornadoes, as well as any additional photos there after for half price. Both locations will also contribute 2 percent of store sales for the week of June 7 (gearing up for the Father's Day holiday), to the American Red Cross to help area storm victims.

Staff and employees at all levels are eager to help, says Cedar Falls Porter's Manager, Tom Mahan.

"Porter's has been a part of this community since 1951, and we're ready to help our friends and neighbors," said Mahan. "A lot was taken away this week; anything we can give back to residents is a privilege."

Those who are in need of replacement photos due to the Memorial Day tornadoes are encouraged to bring CDs, memory cards or negatives into two Porter's locations, at 323 Viking Road in Cedar Falls, and 224 Collins Road NE in Cedar Rapids.
