Pilot is stepping up to support communities ravaged by Hurricane Helene by utilizing its extensive network of travel centers. Through an in-store round-up effort benefiting the American Red Cross, Pilot is dedicated to reinforcing relief missions. This campaign is part of a larger initiative where Pilot is donating $300,000, dedicating $100,000 to Red Cross Hurricane Helene relief and the remaining $200,000 to local nonprofits in the most impacted areas.
From October 4 to October 18, customers at any Pilot, Flying J, and One9 travel center nationwide are encouraged to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. Every cent raised will go towards bolstering Red Cross efforts in the Southeast regions affected by the hurricane.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the countless individuals, families and communities, including our own team members, experiencing the utterly devastating effects of Hurricane Helene,” expressed Julius Cox, Pilot’s chief people officer. “Pilot is profoundly thankful to our team members and emergency personnel for all they are doing to support the affected communities. We are working around the clock to ensure our stores are open and able to provide essentials like fuel and food as we start down the road to recovery together.”
In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Pilot is prioritizing the safe and swift resumption of services to meet the needs of affected communities and emergency workers. As of now, all Pilot, Flying J, and One9 travel centers are operational, including in severely affected locations.
