​​At W&K Container, Inc., we are inspired by the resilience and innovation demonstrated by Joshua Clark, founder of Ark Container Homes. After personally experiencing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ida, Clark has turned adversity into action by creating durable, sustainable housing solutions for disaster victims. His work exemplifies the transformative potential of repurposed shipping containers, offering both immediate relief and long-term resilience for those affected by natural disasters.​

Clark's journey underscores the critical need for robust housing in disaster-prone areas. By converting storm- and fire-proof cargo containers into fully insulated homes, Ark Container Homes provides a sense of normalcy and security to families during their most challenging times. These units are thoughtfully designed with essential amenities, including full bathrooms, kitchens, and climate control, ensuring comfort and functionality.​

At W&K Container, Inc., we are proud to support initiatives that harness the strength and versatility of shipping containers to meet pressing humanitarian needs. We believe in the power of innovative solutions to build a more resilient future for communities worldwide.
