Morgan Wallen continues to do what he can for those who are still dealing with the aftermath of hurricanes Helene and Milton in the southeastern part of the country.
The Tennessee native initially donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross after Helene struck east Tennessee and western North Carolina. He also launched exclusive merchandise, with the proceeds being donated to various relief efforts.
Since then, Wallen and his Morgan Wallen Foundation have been working to put food on the table for families in need: His online virtual food drive has collected more than 100,000 meals and growing.

Earlier this month, the foundation hosted the Help After Helene food drive to aid Second Harvest of East Tennessee. Donations totaled 143,423 pounds of food, which filled six trucks.
Volunteers packaged 13 pallets and 1,092 disaster relief kits to be deployed to those in need. Wallen was on hand for the food drive:
Morgan Wallen’s Food Drive for Hurricane Victims
This weekend, the country hitmaker is scheduled to do two shows on his One Night at a Time tour in Charlotte, N.C., and he has announced plans to do a canned food drive at Bank of America Stadium both nights.
His foundation will be collecting canned foods on Friday, Oct. 18 and Saturday, Oct. 19, starting when gates open at 4:30PM. Fans are encouraged to bring items and drop them off in large bins located at the North and East gates.
A social media post also notes that donations can be made at SecondHarvestMetrolina.org.
