To our friends, families and neighbors affected by Helene,

Last week, Hurricane Helene brought widespread devastation to the Southeastern U.S., leaving behind a trail of loss and destruction in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and beyond. High winds, storm surge, heavy rainfall and severe flooding took precious lives and ravaged our cities and businesses. We know the destruction left behind is dire and the road to recovery ahead may be long. But we also know this isn’t the end, and the Cotton Companies are here for you and our communities.
