HOUSTON – The Chobani Foundation has been offering a helping hand in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in its effort to provide relief to victims impacted by the two recent disasters.
Chobani volunteers from Idaho, Florida, and New York – including from Chobani's South Edmeston plant – were on the ground over the weekend in areas between Fort Myers and Naples, FL to identify the shelters and needs of those impacted by Hurricane Irma.
"This is the third hurricane relief effort we've done in as many weeks, we were in Austin and Houston, TX, giving back where Harvey hit hard, and now we're in Florida at some of the hardest hit areas resulting from Hurricane Irma," said Alyson Oüten, Chobani employee.
"We've been seeing a lot of coverage about these hurricanes hitting in the south but when you get here and see it first hand, it's really astonishing. There are still entire neighborhoods submerged in the Fort Myers, FL area."
Through direct distribution at evacuation shelters and donations to the Red Cross emergency response feeding operation, Chobani has contributed nearly 100,000 cups of yogurt to those impacted by Hurricane Irma, according to Director of Communications Jeff Genung.
Last week, Chobani volunteers took to Houston, TX delivering products and offering support to first responders, food banks, and those still in emergency shelters.
In a note Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya wrote to employees last week, he said, "I know it’s hard for all of us to believe that another community now faces the task of recovering from natural disaster.
"In total, we’re giving 300,000 Chobani products in our first wave [in Houston]. And I’m so proud we donated almost $20,000 from members of Chobani to Save the Children, which we’ll be matching."
Ulukaya continued, "This is just the beginning of recovery in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Some of the most critical moments come in the months after disasters like these -- not just in the days & weeks.
"This is our start, and we’ll be sending teams, products, and our support as these communities get back on their feet."
