Entergy Louisiana volunteers pack more than 200,000 meals in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
02/12/2025
In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Entergy Louisiana employee volunteers gathered at sites across the state to pack meals for local food banks. Despite freezing temperatures and snow days that led to food packing site reschedules, Entergy volunteers showed up geared and ready.
At Entergy, our commitment goes well beyond providing reliable power – we strive to make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. For more than two decades, Entergy has empowered employees to make a meaningful impact in the fight against hunger through volunteerism. That’s why our employees teamed up with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, and Healthy Blue, Louisiana Blue to help fight food insecurity in Louisiana. Together, volunteers packed more than 200,000 meals for families in need.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 47 million people in the United States face hunger, including one in five children. This collective effort not only enabled us to meet our goal of supporting our customers, neighbors, and families in need but also played a crucial role in addressing hunger in our communities.
“Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than about what we can do as a company to help others, but also about using our resources to join hands with community partners to assist those In critical need,” said Phillip May, president and CEO of Entergy Louisiana. “With more than a century of service and a commitment to building a more vibrant Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana remains committed to giving back through volunteerism, advocacy, financial support and partnerships that help strengthen the communities we serve.”
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service supports Entergy’s mission to create sustainable value through volunteerism and philanthropy, and we observe King’s legacy by continuing to give back to the communities we serve. This day serves as a reminder to put his teachings into action by addressing social problems, advancing equality and empowering others. We encourage our employees to continue to work together to support communities and drive meaningful change.
