After Hurricane Helene decimated the southeast in late September, the country music world has gone all out in attempts to help relieve the millions affected by the storm. From sales of Eric Church’s brand new song, “Darkest Hour,” directly going to the relief fund to Dolly Parton donating $1 million to victims, the response from the industry has been nothing short of amazing.

Today, it was none other than Morgan Wallen, joined by Theo Von and Tennesee baseball Coach, Tony Vitello, who joined the effort in Knoxville to provide food for the victims of Helene.

On top of Wallen, Von and Vitello’s aid in handing out water bottles, protein bars, crackers and canned food, the “Last Night” singer also set up a donation drive through the Morgan Wallen Foundation in which he is donating $3 from every concert ticket sold. Additionally, he partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennesee for a virtual food drive which has already reached 95% of its $30,000 goal, according to Knox News.

This isn’t Wallen’s first donation towards the victims of Hurricane Helene either. On October 1st, he became one of the first artists to publicly donate over six figures when he gifted $500,000 to the American Red Cross via the Morgan Wallen Foundation.
