Baton Rouge, LA – October 9, 2024 – Lamar Advertising, one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the world, has activated its Tarp Team program to provide immediate help for the victims of Hurricane Helene in Georgia. Lamar’s Tarp Team donates and distributes used billboard vinyl to communities hit by severe storms for use as temporary roof coverings by residents with damage to their homes.
Those in need can get a vinyl billboard ranging in size from 200 to 700 square feet by going to 1841 Norman Drive between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm on Wednesday, October 9. Volunteers from Farah & Farah and Lamar will be on hand distributing the billboard vinyls at no charge.
