Additionally, Morgan Wallen made an appearance at the foundation’s food drive in Knoxville, Tennessee, for helping and contributing to Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Moreover, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee and the Morgan Wallen Foundation, held a food drive nearby Dick’s House of Sport to collect donations and help the affected communities.

According to the local news station WBIR, Wallen talked with the victims and the organization’s volunteers who were present there.

Wallen said, “I got a team — most of them are here today. I hollered at them and was just like, ‘We need to do something to help.’ So they put this all together.”

The organized food drive took place from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the West Town Mall. The items that were accepted included bottled water, pop-top canned food, and open-and-now-eat food like peanut butter and protein bars.

Morgan Wallen said about the food drive, “I got a team, most of them are here today. I hollered at them and was just like, ‘We need to do something to help.’ So they put this all together.”

Additionally, Wallen donated $500,000 to the Red Cross via the Morgan Wallen Foundation. The donated money would go to the victims affected by Hurricane Helen’s destruction.

Trevor Riggin, Red Cross national president for humanitarian services, in a statement, said, “We can’t thank Morgan Wallen enough for his heart and generous $500,000 donation to impact help on the ground now in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene, including his beloved East Tennessee,”
