Greater Good Charities

This Saturday, we're distributing three tanker trucks of syrup (13,000 gallons) and nearly 40,000 pounds of bee pollen substitute to beekeepers in need after Hurricanes #Helene and #Milton. This distribution in Winter Haven, FL, alongside Mann Lake Bee & Ag Supply and the Florida State Beekeepers Association, is part of our larger mission to help feed billions of bees in the southeastern U.S. that were impacted by the storms. More distributions are planned in the coming weeks. Read the full story below, and look out for updates from our distribution this weekend. 🐝 #SaveTheBees #DisasterRelief #AmplifyTheGood

Jen, Asheville Humane Society's Director of Operations, shares the struggle of continuing to keep their shelter pets safe after the damage caused by Hurricane #Helene. The storm left no one unscathed, but with Greater Good Charities' support, they've become a hub for people and pet supplies and relief in their community. Greater Good Charities is proud to stand with partners like AHS as they work around the clock to protect shelter pets, place them in loving homes, and get critical aid to families with pets in the community. Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them. 💙 #DisasterRelief #AmplifyTheGood

Greater Good Charities remains in Asheville, listening to the most urgent requests from the community and evolving our response to meet these dynamic needs. Today, we are delivering desperately needed diapers to families still reeling from Helene. Our incredible logistics teams moved these diapers—and thousands more—from Santa Clarita, California, to North Carolina in just days after learning of the dire need for them. Your support enables Greater Good Charities’ ability to turn on a dime, adapting our response to get people what they need, when they need it. #Helene #Milton #DisasterRelief #AmplifyTheGood

As a key element to our response to disasters, Greater Good Charities works alongside local community organizations to ensure we are helping in the most impactful way possible. In Asheville, we're working with partners to distribute food, water, and supplies to families and pets in need. 💙 The most inspiring part of this journey is hearing stories from community members about neighbors helping neighbors. Many are stepping up to pick up supplies and pet food for those who are stuck or unable to reach assistance. This powerful display of solidarity truly highlights the strength of community in times of disaster. Thank you to our partners and supporters for making this life-saving work possible and allowing us to be there in times of great need. Together, we’re ensuring that help reaches those who need it most during this difficult time. #Helene #Milton #DisasterRelief #AmplifyTheGood

During our emergency pet airlift, something special happened. The Southwest Airlines pilot Captain Matt met a sweet kitty named Avery—and couldn’t resist her charm! 👨✈️🐱 Not only did he help fly her out of shelters impacted by the recent hurricanes, he also decided to make her part of his family!   Thanks to your generosity, 145 pets like Avery are safe and soon to find loving homes. It’s moments like these that show how every act of kindness makes a difference. 🐾 #Helene #Milton #DisasterRelief #GoodFlights #AmplifyTheGood

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene near Asheville, NC, an 8-year-old boy came to one of our aid distributions through the local YMCA with his mom. He showed up ready to help however was needed, even though his own family is struggling after #Helene's devastation. His parents are deeply involved in the community and it was clear that kindness runs in their family. This young soccer lover spent his day helping us hand out emergency packs to others in need, his smile an immediate bright spot for everyone he encountered. His willingness to pitch in and help is a reminder of the incredible spirit of community, even in the hardest times. Greater Good Charities has delivered aid to over 41 communities and 122+ trucks filled with essentials, but individuals like this young boy truly show how we can all #AmplifyTheGood. Thank you for supporting this life-saving work! 💙

145 shelter pets are safe on the ground in Wisconsin after our lifesaving evacuation Good Flight, in partnership with Southwest Airlines® and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue! "Since the beginning we have been supporting the people and pets devastated by these catastrophic hurricanes," said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities. "This donation of humanitarian supplies and our emergency shelter pet airlift are part of our efforts to bring relief to the hardest-hit communities." From flying critical supplies into North Carolina, to flying shelter pets out of danger to the places they'll have the best chances at adoption, we couldn't have done it without YOU! Thank you for your compassionate support. Thank you to Southwest Airlines, Lucky Dog, Banfield Pet Hospital and our ever-agile receiving shelters for working with us to respond to the great need created by Hurricanes #Helene and #Milton.

In response to Hurricanes #Helene and #Milton, Greater Good Charities is partnering with Southwest Airlines® and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to deliver humanitarian supplies to communities in crisis in North Carolina. Then, today the GGC team and Southwest employees will load 145 pets who were in shelters prior to the storms onto a donated Southwest Airlines aircraft. They include these cats and dogs Sharona, Tova, Avery, Jimmy, Lucian and Pilot! After working with a local licensed veterinarian from Banfield Pet Hospital to examine the pets and provide health certificates, we’ll airlift them out of the Southeast to the Midwest to find new homes! This emergency transport of supplies into impacted areas and shelter pets out allows us to support more displaced and injured pets from these disasters and the shelters caring for them. Stay tuned for updates from the tarmac! #DisasterRelief #GoodFlights #AmplifyTheGood

Greater Good Charities is responding to needs of communities impacted by Hurricanes #Helene and #Milton, including sending 122 trucks' worth of $6.5MM in humanitarian aid and pet products across 5 states to more than 41 communities. We’re also flying adoptable shelter pets from shelters impacted by the storms to make room for the influx of missing or lost pets.   When Tom—an Ameriflight, LLC captain working with us to transport pets this week—met little Colin at the shelter prior to takeoff, it was love at first sight! Now Colin’s going home to his new family and many other shelter pets are on their way to new homes too.   Thanks to incredible supporters like YOU and dedicated people like Tom, more than 15,000 pets have been rescued by these lifesaving transports. Together, we’re changing lives, one rescue at a time! #DisasterRelief #GoodFlights #AmplifyTheGood
