FirstEnergy Foundation Delivers Hope with Largest Hunger-Relief Grants

October 20, 2025

Millions of meals are making their way to kitchen tables across six states – each one a lifeline for families facing food insecurity. And behind every meal is a story – a child who can focus on school, a parent who can breathe a little easier or a neighbor who feels seen and supported.

That is the real impact of the FirstEnergy Foundation’s $2.5 million in grants to 104 local food banks and hunger-relief organizations during Hunger Action Month.

Check out some of the organizations we supported.

FirstEnergy’s customers are our neighbors, and our employees made this mission personal to the communities where they live and work. They volunteered, organized food drives and showed up for their communities with open hearts and helping hands. Let’s keep showing up — because every meal tells a story, and every story matters.
