On behalf of the Time Warner Cable employees living and working in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley, we hope you and your families are safe following Hurricane Irene.
While Time Warner Cable has worked quickly to restore services for most customers, the American Red Cross continues to support thousands of local families. Without their dedicated relief efforts, many would be without food, water and shelter.
Join Time Warner Cable in supporting the American Red Cross. Together we can help make things better for our neighbors.
