Cable One, Inc. (NYSE: CABO)
(the “Company” or “Cable One”) today announced that in an effort to
assist with COVID-19 relief efforts across its 21-state footprint,
the Company donated
$150,000 to the Meals on Wheels America COVID-19 Response Fund and
$150,000 to local food banks in the markets it serves.
“Cable One has set an example for others by helping us to ensure
America’s vulnerable seniors will continue to receive the meals
they desperately need amid this national crisis,” said Kristine
Templin, Chief Development Officer, Meals on Wheels America. “This
generous donation will go a long way in providing certainty during
these uncertain times, and I speak on behalf of the nationwide
Meals on Wheels network in expressing our deep appreciation.”
Meals on Wheels America supports more than 5,000 community-based
programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior
isolation and hunger. This network serves virtually every community
in America and, along with more than two million staff and
volunteers, delivers the nutritious meals, friendly visits and
safety checks that enable America’s seniors to live nourished lives
with independence and dignity.
“Meals on Wheels and local food banks are fulfilling the
critical need of feeding at-risk community members who might
otherwise go hungry due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic,”
said Julie Laulis, President and CEO. “We are proud to support
their mission through donations that will help provide immediate
aid to individuals who have been hit hardest during this
unprecedented crisis.”
In addition to monetary donations, the Cable One family of
brands have opened more than 120 free WiFi hotspots in local office
parking lots and other public areas across their footprint for
public use during the pandemic in order to keep individuals and
