One Generation Away’s Post

Together we made a difference. Anyone can make change but real leaders make a difference. Be a difference maker.

Hurricane Helene's devastating impact on individuals and communities - within and beyond our team - has reminded us how vital it is to stand together during times of crisis. In partnership with the Red Cross, we are contributing to relief efforts to help those affected by the hurricane’s destruction. A portion of proceeds from every order on our site (https://hubs.ly/Q02Sppzq0) will support the Red Cross’s critical work in providing shelter, meals, and emergency supplies to those in need. The response to Hurricane Helene has been immense. The Red Cross alone has already provided nearly 23,400 overnight shelter stays, served 83,000+ meals and snacks, distributed 3,100+ emergency relief supplies, and deployed 1,400+ responders delivering life-saving services. Additionally, if you donate more than $20 at https://hubs.ly/Q02SpdgQ0 you'll receive 15% off a plant purchase on https://hubs.ly/Q02Sppzq0! This effort is personal to us, as we stand in solidarity with those affected, both in our community and beyond.

Located in North Carolina, our hearts are heavy with the unprecedented destruction Hurricane Helene has brought to our western counties. Despite the valiant efforts of first responders, the National Guard, utility teams, and relief personnel, the most severely affected areas are still isolated, struggling to access necessities like gas, food, water, electricity, and cell service. The impact extends beyond our state borders, affecting numerous communities across Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida with significant damage. Although our facilities were not damaged, we all have connections—be it colleagues, friends, family members, neighbors or clients—who have been touched by this tragedy. Confronted with such overwhelming adversity and pain can leave us questioning how best to assist those in need. However, coming together as a community offers us the strength to create change. We encourage you to stand with Alcami in contributing to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to support our neighbors on their journey to recovery. Alternatively, if you're already committed to a trusted non-profit known for their relief efforts or wish to contribute through established organizations like the American Red Cross or Salvation Army directly; that too can make a significant difference. Let's keep these communities close to our hearts and continue offering whatever help we can as they navigate this challenging time.

Based in North Carolina, our hearts are heavy with the unprecedented destruction faced by our western counties due to Hurricane Helene. Despite the valiant efforts of first responders, the National Guard, utility teams, and relief personnel, many of the most severely affected areas are still isolated, struggling to access necessities like gas, food, water, electricity, and phone service.

Although our facilities were unharmed, it's certain that we all know someone—a colleague, friend, family member, neighbor or client—affected by this tragedy.

We encourage you to stand with Alcami in contributing to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to assist our neighbors through their extensive recovery process.

In light of the increasing frequency of natural disasters, Walmart's recent initiative to deploy disaster response mobile units is commendable. These units, operated by skilled nonprofit professionals, have already significantly impacted Northwest Arkansas, offering essential services like hot meals, clean laundry, hot showers, and charging stations with Wi-Fi.   Walmart's proactive approach, driven by a strong sense of corporate responsibility, provides immediate relief and strengthens community resilience, demonstrating the power of businesses in action.   This is a prime example of how companies can make a meaningful difference and build stronger connections with the communities they serve.    As businesses, if we promote initiatives that help communities thrive, we contribute to those communities' social and economic well-being, build a more substantial, loyal base, and create a positive impact that enhances our corporate reputation. #business #community #companies #RSE #social #responsibility

Based in North Carolina, we are profoundly saddened by the unprecedented destruction Hurricane Helene has brought to our western counties. Despite the valiant efforts of first responders, the National Guard, utility teams, and relief personnel, many of the most severely affected areas remain inaccessible, lacking basic necessities such as gas, food, water, electricity, and cell service. The impact has also been felt deeply across Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida with significant damage reported. Although our facilities were fortunate enough to escape damage, it's likely we all know someone—be it a colleague, friend, family member, neighbor or client—who has been affected. In light of this calamity and its ensuing hardships, deciding how best to offer support can be challenging. However, coming together as a community can create impactful change. We encourage you to join Alcami in contributing to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to assist our neighbors through their extensive recovery process. Alternatively, if you're already committed to a trusted non-profit for relief efforts or prefer supporting organizations like the American Red Cross or Salvation Army directly; please do so.
