    • American Red Cross Disaster Recovery

    BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 2, 2024 – Lockheed Martin is providing $1 million in charitable funding to the American Red Cross to support Hurricane Helene relief and response efforts in the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia.

    “Hurricane Helene has left a wide swath of destruction in its wake and continues to impact communities across the Southeast,” said Dean Acosta, chief communications officer, Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin has a longstanding presence in the region and we are committed to supporting the communities where we live and work, and all those suffering, in their time of need.”

    Currently, more than 1,000 American Red Cross responders have deployed to North Carolina, Florida and several more states throughout the Southeast to help communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.

    The Red Cross is delivering essential relief to thousands of people who have fled dangerous conditions and are facing challenging circumstances. With the help of its partners, the Red Cross is running over 70 shelters, providing safe refuge to more than 2,600 people forced from their homes.

    Lockheed Martin has also activated its Employee Disaster Relief Fund to provide emergency assistance to employees residing in FEMA-declared counties affected by Hurricane Helene.
