On September 26th, category 4 Hurricane Helene made landfall and devastated the Southeast. Our store in Asheville, North Carolina, along with others in the affected areas, witnessed firsthand the destruction caused by the storm. Countless rescues, shelters, and spay & neuter clinics were left in ruins, forcing them to start from scratch.
Round Up for Rescues
That’s where our stores across the country stepped up to provide assistance! Dozens of bins were set up to take in and transport product donations, but the biggest achievement was the Round-Ups. Our stores’ most active Rescue Partners are given the opportunity to be a part of our Round-Up for Rescue program, in which customers can round their purchase total up to the nearest dollar and donate those cents to the Rescue Partner. Our stores everywhere started sharing Asheville’s Round-Up code for Mountain Pet Rescue Asheville and our customers’ generous response has completely stunned us!
From September 27th – October 11th, our stores raised $19,866 for Mountain Pet Rescue Asheville in just 2 weeks!! Even customers who shop online with us have a chance to donate to the cause– for the month of October, all of our Online Rescue Donations will be going to Asheville rescues.
Delivering Pet Food
In addition to fundraising, our Collins store in Memphis went above and beyond by packing pallets of food for donation to hurricane-affected areas. Once the roads reopen, these supplies will be sent directly to Asheville to support those in need.
Hollywood Feed is incredibly proud of the compassion and generosity demonstrated by our customers and team members. We are committed to continuing our efforts to aid in the recovery from Hurricane Helene and ensure that the affected communities receive the support they deserve. Come back in a few weeks to see how much was raised for Hurricane Helene Relief!
