      supporting communities in their time of need. As southeast Texas and 
      affected areas across the Gulf Coast begin to recover from the impacts 
      of Hurricane Harvey, Coca-Cola is working to ensure that there is relief 
      on hand.
    </p>
<blockquote><p id='pull-quote'></p></blockquote>

    <p>
      Today, the philanthropic arm of The Coca-Cola Company – The Coca-Cola 
      Foundation – pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross, supporting 
      local relief efforts. These funds will help provide immediate resources 
      for necessary food and shelter and will aid in long-term rebuilding 
      efforts.
    </p>
    <p>
      "Coca-Cola always stands ready to help when people are in need. As the 
      heartbreaking situation continues to unfold along the Gulf Coast, we are 
      reminded of the importance of coming together and supporting each 
      other," said Sandy Douglas, Executive Vice President and President, 
      Coca-Cola North America; and Board Member of The Coca-Cola Foundation. 
      “Our system has been mobilized to help in any way we can. We're working 
      with our local bottlers, authorities and relief agencies, donating 
      beverages and funds to help the community."
    </p>
    <p>
      In addition to The Coca-Cola Foundation’s monetary contributions, the 
      Coca-Cola system, including Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, Coca-Cola 
      Bottling Company UNITED, Coca-Cola North America and fairlife, has 
      donated nearly 25,000 cases of water, milk, sports drinks and other 
      beverages to people affected by the storm so far, with more expected in 
      the coming days.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Coca-Cola system also is supporting its approximately 2,200 
      associates in the affected areas. Many employees have been evacuated 
      from their homes and it is expected that more employees will need help 
      and care.
    </p>
    <p>
      The company is matching employee contributions made to the Coca-Cola 
      Employee Disaster Relief Fund up to $100,000. Proceeds will go to help 
      Coca-Cola system associates who are impacted by the storm.
    </p>
    <p>
      "Our Coca-Cola family lives and works in the areas impacted by this 
      unprecedented storm and they know just how important it is to help our 
      neighbors when they need it the most," said Mark Schortman, President 
      and Chief Executive Officer, Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages. "Our local 
      team is helping get water and milk to those needing assistance. Our team 
      knows how to come together and do what is needed to help offer relief to 
      the people hurting during these tough times."
    </p>
    <p>
      Added Coca-Cola UNITED President and Chief Executive Officer John 
      Sherman: "As part of the Coca-Cola system, we’re proud to help the 
      communities we serve. After last year's floods in Baton Rouge, and the 
      current devastation in Texas and possibly Louisiana, we are grateful to 
      be part of a system that provides our associates and our communities 
      such great support."
    </p>
    <p>
      Coca-Cola is also using its online charitable giving platform to support 
      relief efforts during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. People can 
      visit <a target="_blank" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.coca-cola.com%2Fgive%2F&amp;esheet=51675766&amp;newsitemid=20170829006052&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Coke.com%2Fgive&amp;index=1&amp;md5=1318e787cc2b648d1117a62e823dd68f" rel="nofollow">Coke.com/give</a> and
