Last April's fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, leveled several blocks of the town and resulted in the deaths of 14 people. Central Texas Iron Works (CTIW) employees Robert Snokhous and Doug Snokhous were among those killed. The brothers — who were also volunteer firefighters — lost their lives while trying to extinguish the blaze that led to the explosion at the plant. In their memory, CTIW has created the Steel Industry West Relief Fund to assist victims of the tragedy and the West community as a whole. If you would like to donate, checks can be made payable to Steel Industry West Relief Fund, c/o Central Texas Iron Works, Inc., P.O. Box 2555, Waco, Texas 76702-2555. CTIW has also teamed up with the Waco Foundation to accept donations for the West Volunteer Fire Department. If you would like to donate, checks can be made payable to Waco Foundation, West Texas Disaster Relief Efforts Fund/Firefighter Relief (In Honor of Robert and Doug Snokhous), 1105 Wooded Acres Dr., Waco, TX 76710. You can also donate online. To learn more about Robert and Doug, as well as the other victims of this tragedy, click here. |
