As we continue our efforts to support those affected by the hurricane, our team has been actively assisting Golden Harvest Food Bank with their relief operations. We’re also preparing a tractor load of apples that will be delivered to Golden Harvest this Friday sourced from New York by SERC. With the help of the incredible volunteers from Georgia Power Company and the US Navy Rotc team, we’re able to pack and send this produce to those who need it most. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this happen!

A HUGE thank you to the apple growers in New York, Oregon, and Washington for donating fresh apples to support Hurricane Helene efforts in #Augusta and other impacted communities in the Southeast! These apples arrived in 40 lb boxes and are being repacked into 3-5 lb bags by the incredible volunteers from Georgia Power Company and the NAVAL RESERVES OFFICERS TRAINING CORP at the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Their hard work ensures that, after two weeks of relying on shelf-stable foods, families in areas still without power will receive fresh, nutritious produce. Once packed, the apples will be sent to Golden Harvest Food Bank for distribution, with one truckload from NY going to Augusta and the rest shared with NC and possibly Florida. We couldn’t do this without the generosity of the growers and the dedication of our volunteers! 🙌 #DisasterRelief #GeorgiaPower #NavyROTC #CommunitySupport #FreshFood #HurricaneHelene

To our friends, neighbors, and sister food banks in Northeast Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas: We see you, we hear you, we're here for you. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we've been organizing responses this week to deliver much-needed supplies to communities affected by the disaster. Pictured here are representatives from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who have offered to deliver our stores of peanut butter and diapers to the Asheville area. We're also working diligently to deliver water and dry goods to our Georgia neighbors. If you're able to help, please consider donating to Feeding America's Hurricane Helene response efforts.
