Nalgene Water Fund Donates $10,000 and Reusable Bottles to Help Restore Safe Water Access After Hurricane Helene

Nalgene Water Fund Donates $10,000 and Reusable Bottles to Help Restore Safe Water Access After Hurricane Helene

At Nalgene Outdoor, we believe in the power of clean water and the positive impact it has on communities. That’s why in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we felt compelled to donate $10,000 from The Nalgene Water Fund and 2,000 wide-mouth reusable bottles to Water Mission, an engineering nonprofit that builds safe water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions in disaster areas. Our donation will help support Water Mission restore access to safe water for the victims of Hurricane Helene, which struck the southeastern United States on September 26, unleashing its devastating Category 4 fury on North Carolina.

The storm caused severe flooding, claimed more than 150 lives, and inflicted up to $35 billion in estimated damage. Millions were left without power or safe drinking water, creating an urgent need for immediate assistance. 

Water Mission responded quickly deploying its disaster response team to the hardest-hit areas, starting in Boone, North Carolina. Currently, they have 15 water treatment systems either operational or in the setup process, producing over 180,000 gallons of safe water. Each system can provide clean water to up to 5,000 people daily. Additionally, they have distributed 124,000 water purification packets and more than 1,000 generators to support the affected communities.

Eric Hansen, Director of Marketing for Nalgene Outdoor, shared his thoughts on this important work: “Supporting Water Mission’s efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene is a natural extension of our work with The Nalgene Water Fund. In times of crisis, it’s essential to respond and help those in need. We were truly impressed by Water Mission’s innovative water filtration systems and their ability to quickly provide safe drinking water from rivers and other water sources, minimizing the dependency on single-use bottles and addressing the recycling challenges they create in disaster zones.”

The donation of 2,000 Nalgene bottles not only offers a practical solution for hydration but also promotes sustainability. Each of our bottles is designed for durability and reusability, reducing the reliance on single-use plastics. We hope these bottles come to symbolize the importance of clean water and environmental responsibility.

The $10,000 donation will go towards Water Mission’s ongoing efforts to restore safe water access to communities in Boone, North Carolina and elsewhere in the state so they can continue to rebuild their lives. Every dollar counts, and we’re grateful to be part of this initiative that prioritizes health and safety.

As we move forward, we encourage everyone to join us in supporting organizations like Water Mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by natural disasters and promote a future where clean water is accessible to all.

Stay connected with us for updates on The Nalgene Water Fund’s ongoing initiatives and how you can get involved. Together, we can build towards a healthier, more sustainable future!

This donation is made with the intent to support communities in need of access to clean water. The donor is not affiliated with, nor does this contribution support, any religious organization or faith-based initiative.

$5 of every purchase of a Nalgene Water Fund bottle goes directly to nonprofits to ensure all American communities have access to clean water.
