Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024

AT&T is contributing $25,000 to Golden Harvest Food Bank to assist Georgia communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. 

Founded in 1982, Golden Harvest Food Bank works to create a safety net of partner agencies, programs, and direct services to meet the needs of neighbors who struggle with hunger across a 24-county service area to get to nutritious meals directly into the hands of those in need through agencies embedded in their communities. 

Following Hurricane Helene, Golden Harvest has supported communities impacted by the storm by hosting food distributions and providing access to food and resources for those in need.  

“This contribution will play a critical role in supporting our Hurricane Helene relief efforts. It enables us to deliver much-needed food, water, and shelf-stable meals to communities facing prolonged shortages of basic necessities. AT&T’s partnership will help us extend our reach and make a lasting impact on the families most affected during this difficult recovery period.” Amy Breitmann, President & CEO, Golden Harvest Food Bank

“In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, AT&T’s heart goes out to the affected communities. We are proud to support the Golden Harvest Food Bank as they serve communities impacted by the storm with food and essential resources,” said Stan Shepherd, Regional Director of External Affairs, AT&T Georgia. “We have thousands of team members across Helene’s path working to restore services in the communities where we live and work, and we are proud to support and work alongside these community organizations making a difference.” 

AT&T is fully committed to continuing to aid the response and recovery efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Our network teams continue to make progress on our recovery efforts in the areas impacted by Hurricane Helene.
