Donations coincide with a company-wide commitment to Hunger Action Month.
Cincinnati, OH — Oct. 1, 2020 — Dynegy today announced a $50,000 donation to support Ohio food banks, still working through soaring demand and resetting logistics amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Dynegy is deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve, and right now, that means linking arms with organizations on the ground, working to end hunger,” said Brad Watson, Dynegy’s senior director of community affairs. “Our company understands that Ohio food banks are doing what – just months ago – many would have said was impossible. Staff members and volunteers are stepping up to meet record demand head-on and handling first-time clients with grace and sensitivity.”
The $50,000 donation is directly supporting food banks in meeting their most pressing needs.
“This donation comes at a critical time, as food insecurity related to COVID-19 continues to affect the communities we serve,” said Trisha Rayner, the Freestore Foodbank’s vice president of external affairs. “We are grateful for the Dynegy team who volunteers with us on a regular basis and who, in this crisis, has stepped up to support the organization and the families we serve to ensure no one goes hungry.”
