In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Southwire is rallying to provide disaster relief through the collection and distribution of essential items and monetary donations.
Southwire’s Project GIFT volunteers are hosting a supply collection drive this week at the Carrollton Walmart to collect essential items for distribution across impacted communities in South Ga.
When: Tuesday-Thursday, Oct. 1-3, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. daily
Where: Walmart Carrollton (1735 US-27, Carrollton, Ga. 30117)
Suggested donation items include hygiene products, paper goods, cleaning supplies, baby items, individually packaged snacks, ready-to-eat foods and more. No clothing items will be accepted. All donations should be new and unused.
Working in collaboration with the Southwire team located in Douglas, Ga., Project GIFT will identify communities suffering in the wake of Hurricane Helene to whom these goods can be distributed.
“Disaster relief is at the very heart of Project GIFT, it is how our formalized efforts to provide inspiration to our communities began. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we have an incredible opportunity to serve a great need,” said Kristian Whittington, director of Giving Back. “We are grateful for our team members and community partners who have quickly come together to support those impacted by the storm and are ready to respond in the days ahead.”
In addition to sending essential goods, Southwire is partnering with Water Mission to collect monetary donations for impacted communities across the state of North Carolina. Water Mission, a long-term charitable partner of Southwire, is leading the effort to provide life-changing relief in response to the storm damage throughout multiple cities in North Carolina.
