Brick by Brick: The Business of Rebuilding Liberia
Firestone Liberia Works to Ease Food Shortages
With growing food shortages in Liberia, Firestone is working to help the government locate and transport more rice to the Liberian people.

In addition to aiding the government, Firestone has for many years made rice available to its employees at significantly subsidized prices.
