HURRICANE HELPERS For a second time, Edible Arrangements® franchisees across North and South Carolina have reached out to assist Hurricane Florence victims. This time, 48 stores donated a portion of their proceeds to raise $9,369 for the Foundation For The Carolinas Hurricane Florence Response Fund. “When franchisees across the Carolinas joined together to volunteer and donate fruit cups to people in the affected communities [shortly after the deadly September 2018 storm], we saw the devastation firsthand,” said Jim Echols, Edible franchisee for more than 13 years and owner of two locations in Charlotte, North Carolina. “While our efforts made an impact, we knew we wanted to give back more and in an even bigger way, so we’re humbled to be able to make this donation to the community.” For more information, visit www.ediblearrangements.com.
