Prosser, WA, October 15, 2024 - Chukar Cherries has donated $5000 to the American Red Cross to help people affected by Hurricane Helene. “Our hearts go out to those rebuilding their lives,” says Wynne Smith, Marketing Manager. The Northwest food manufacturer announced a one-day fundraiser, committing 20% of order proceeds to the American Red Cross. “Our customers want to help,” continued Smith. The contribution will support immediate relief from the storm’s devastation—including shelter, food, and supplies.

As a family-owned company, Chukar Cherries is committed to supporting the communities it serves. In the case of Hurricane Helene, “not only do we have loyal east coast customers, but our longtime copy editor, Beth Cole of Riverview Farms, lives in Arden, North Carolina, which passed through the eye of the storm. Thankfully she and her family are well, but there are still many in need,” continues Smith.

Beyond Helene relief, Chukar Cherries has a history of supporting community needs. From its Prosser headquarters in south-central Washington to greater Seattle and Pike Place Market—Chukar supports youth development, access to nutritious food, and environmental conservation.
