Delicious luncheons, lively sporting events and fun silent auctions. Those are some of the ways our employees raised money for our 2018 Harvest for Hunger campaign. And, together, we came out on top!

This year was our best year yet. We raised $471,000, and with more than 55,000 pounds of food donated, we can provide the equivalent of more than 3.3 million meals, well past our 2.5 million-meal goal.

“The FirstEnergy family pulled together to help families in our communities who don’t know when they’ll get their next meal,” said Dee Lowery, vice president, Corporate Affairs & Community Involvement. “The need for food assistance is real and increases each year. I’m proud of our employees who give so generously of their time and money to help those in need.”

Since 2001, FirstEnergy employees in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia have raised $5,103,981 and more than 1.3 million pounds of food. That’s more than 36.7 million meals.
