NEW ORLEANS – In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Entergy joined forces with Louisiana Blue, Healthy Blue, the Pack Shack, and Extra Table Feeds to assemble meals for vulnerable communities across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Inspired by Dr. King’s legacy of service, more than 480 dedicated employee volunteers prepared 537,136 meals for families and individuals grappling with food insecurity.
Entergy operates in regions with some of the highest food insecurity rates in the nation, underscoring the significance of this initiative. As volunteers moved along the assembly line, each action represented a concrete step toward providing nourishment, stability and hope for families facing tough choices.
“Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not only a reminder of our corporate responsibility to support others but also an opportunity to unite with community partners to tackle pressing needs,” said John Hudson, Entergy’s senior vice president and chief external affairs officer. “For more than a century, our employees’ commitment to fostering a brighter future inspires us to give back through volunteer initiatives, advocacy, financial support and partnerships that empower the communities we serve.”
Participating in volunteer events like this day of service is a key reason Entergy has been recognized nationally by The Civic 50 for 10 consecutive years as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States. We remain dedicated to ensuring children and families receive the support they need to build a better future.
