Entergy's“Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Campaign Combats Food Insecurity For Vulnerable Communities This Holiday Season
The Thanksgiving holiday has long been a meaningful time for addressing food insecurity and offering support to those in need. This year, many families are facing unprecedented challenges, with rising costs straining their resources. In response, Entergy employees partnered with local organizations to lend a helping hand to our neighbors.
Throughout November, our dedicated employees organized a variety of initiatives, including fundraising, canned food drives, turkey distribution events, and contributions to food banks, all designed to help customers in need during the holiday season.
Key highlights of our efforts included:
-
Entergy Corporation, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans: Collaborated with the United Way of Southeast Louisiana, Second Harvest Food Bank, Northshore Food Bank, Our Daily Bread, Community Center of St. Bernard, Giving Hope, and the Junior League of New Orleans to collect nonperishable food items and diapers for our communities. Entergy New Orleans also partnered with Einstein Charter School Turkey Drive for the 6th year, feeding over 100 families.
Entergy Arkansas: Donated $40,000 to Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, The Salvation Army and local pantries, and hosted successful food drives to gather essential supplies. Employees also volunteered at local food bank distributions, including those specifically for federal employees impacted by the recent government shutdown, and rang bells for the Red Kettle Campaign.
Entergy Mississippi: Joined forces with Extra Table for the“Give 'Em a Bird” fundraiser, distributing over 9,000 chickens and raising vital funds to support local families.
Entergy Texas: Contributed $30,000 to aid local food banks in their efforts to combat food insecurity within vulnerable communities.
Through these collective efforts, we remain committed to supporting our neighbors and strengthening our communities year-round, especially during these challenging times. Learn more at Entergy/communities.
