GOLO Donates 100,000 Meals to Support Hurricane Helene Recovery Efforts

GOLO recently teamed up with Feeding America’s network of partner food banks to provide 100,000 nutritious meals to support the relief and recovery efforts in communities affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

"Our hearts go out to the people impacted by this tragedy as they courageously begin the challenging journey of rebuilding their lives and neighborhoods," said Jennifer Brooks, President and Co-founder of GOLO. "The devastation experienced by these communities is truly heart-wrenching, and we are committed to providing assistance."

GOLO's food donation will come from the company's GOLO Foods line of nutritious meals and will be distributed to the following Feeding America network food bank partners:

• Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, Charlotte, NC (SHMETROLINA). The organization strives to eliminate hunger through education, advocacy, and partnerships by soliciting and distributing food. SHMETROLINA provides a regional distribution warehouse and branches that supply food and grocery items to charitable agencies that assist people in need.
• MANNA FoodBank of Asheville, NC. MANNA distributes food throughout Western North Carolina through a partner network of more than 200 agencies in 16 counties, including the Qualla Boundary. The organization works through a network of partner agencies that distribute food directly to families in their community according to their individual programs.
• Second Harvest of South Georgia. Serving nearly 12,000 square miles, Second Harvest of South Georgia is the leading hunger relief organization in the region and the second-largest food bank in the state.
• America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend in Tallahassee, Florida. The organization provides healthy food for neighbors facing hunger and food insecurity throughout their 16-county service area. As the region's primary source for charitable food, their facility acts as a storage and distribution depot for over 150 smaller frontline agency partners, including emergency food pantries, homeless shelters, schools, churches and community centers.

"The outpouring of support from all corners of the country means MANNA and food banks affected by these dual disasters are getting back to work. We are grateful for the GOLO Foods donations, which help us provide immediate access to nutritious food to people in our community," said Micah Chrisman, Director of Marketing and Communications at MANNA Food Bank. 

GOLO's donations reflect our steadfast commitment to supporting local communities and community-based organizations.
