The Chobani Foundation aids Louisiana flood victims
LOUISIANA – Over the weekend of Aug. 27 and 28, the Chobani Foundation extended a helping hand to flood victims in Louisiana after what the American Red Cross is calling “the worst U.S. disaster since Hurricane Sandy.”
Four Chobani employees from Norwich, as well as several volunteers from Chobani’s southern states sales teams handed out 6,000 cases – an entire tractor-trailer full of yogurt – over the course of the weekend at the Sam’s Club Disaster Relief Parking Lot event in Denham Springs, LA.
Chobani Corporate Communications Senior Manager Jeff Genung was one of the four Norwich employees who made the trip. Genung said, “We look to help in our hometown communities, and the communities that need us, whenever we can. It was a small act of kindness as the area looks to rebuild and recover.”
Chobani participated alongside several other local and national volunteer groups handing out water, ice, hot meals, laundry services, and other much needed supplies to thousands of visitors over the course of the weekend.
At the end of the weekend, the Chobani Foundation arranged to donate the remaining 10 pallets of yogurt to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. On the journey, Genung saw the aftermath of the flood firsthand.
“We drove from Denham Springs to Baton Rouge on Sunday afternoon and the damage was unbelievable. It looked like a scene out of a disaster movie. People’s houses were entirely gutted out with all of their belongings on the street, neighborhood after neighborhood. It’s sobering to see that kind of damage.”
