Ingles commits supplies, ice and drive efforts to Hurricane Dorian relief

Ingles Markets has partnered with international relief organization Hearts with Hands to provide support for Hurricane Dorian relief efforts.

Even as the storm’s impact and path remain uncertain, Ingles has pledged support in the form of supplies and ice at the ready, helping Hearts with Hands respond more quickly where the need is the greatest.

Ingles also will have donation bins in all stores and will spotlight the need for donations through local and regional media partners.

The ability to act quickly will help save lives and bring comfort to all those impacted” said Ingles CFO Ron Freeman. “Helping those in need, whether they are next door or our neighbors throughout the region, is part of our corporate culture. Ingles, our generous customers, local charities along with all of our media partners have led the way in providing help and support to those in need.”
