Wake Forest Partnership: A Case Study in Excellence

One of our most notable contributions to disaster relief came in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Collaborating with Wake Forest University, Proof of the Pudding played a pivotal role in providing meals to remediation workers in western North Carolina. Utilizing the kitchens of Allegacy Stadium and David F. Couch Ballpark, we prepared and staged tens of thousands of fresh boxed lunches, hot breakfasts, and dinners.

Wake Forest University’s vice president and director of athletics, John Currie, shared his gratitude:

“It’s an honor to be able to serve our western North Carolina neighbors by utilizing the kitchens of Allegacy Stadium and David F. Couch Ballpark to produce meals for the relief effort in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We appreciate our partner Proof of the Pudding’s service, which is another representation of the Pro Humanitate spirit of Wake Forest University.”

Proof of the Pudding’s CEO, Adam Noyes, echoed this sentiment:

“We humbly appreciate Wake Forest University and Wake Forest Athletics’ collaboration and support in providing tens of thousands of meals for remediation workers. It is a true honor to work alongside such a dedicated and compassionate institution.”
