Aeroflow, United Way coordinate thousands of boxes of supplies 

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Aeroflow Health has partnered with United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, among other organizations, to provide immediate relief and supplies following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Aeroflow Health and United Way quickly collaborated to open a warehouse donation site just days after historic flooding in Western North Carolina devastated the area. In just 15 days, there were more than 700 volunteer responses and more than 2,600 boxes of essential supplies, such as paper goods, baby formula, cleaning products, personal care items and ready-to-eat meals distributed. To date, the site has received more than 80 supply requests from 59 community organizations. “Community has always been one of our core values at Aeroflow, and that has never been more of a priority than in these past few weeks as we continue to see our community rally together in the wake of this disaster,” said Casey Hite, CEO of Aeroflow Health. “We are grateful for the generosity of our partners who quickly came to our aid and assisted in providing support to our neighbors during this critical time, and we remain committed to providing our community with support and safety by partnering with the organizations who are equally devoted to Western North Carolina’s recovery efforts.” In its initial response, Aeroflow provided more than $400,000 of assistance through disaster relief pay to employees in the impacted areas, temporary housing to displaced employees and their families, and a pantry stocked with food and essential supplies, such as diapers, baby formula and hygiene products. Despite the many donations and volunteer help, Aeroflow and United Way say there is still ongoing financial support needed for Western North Carolina’s communities to rebuild.
