In a significant show of community support, the FirstEnergy Foundation has awarded a $20,000 grant to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH), bolstering our organization’s mission to supply high-quality protein to food-insecure families. This grant will help us provide over 36,000 servings of meat to the hungry of Maryland through our food banks and ministry distribution partners.

Protein-rich foods are among the most needed — yet most expensive — items at food banks and feeding ministries. Many people struggle not just with hunger, but with poor low-quality nutrition. Meat provides essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals that support health, growth, and well-being. Thanks to this support from the FirstEnergy Foundation, FHFH can help ensure our neighbors in need have access to a balanced and healthy diet.

The FirstEnergy Foundation’s contributions to local nonprofit organizations help strengthen the social and economic fabric of our communities. The FirstEnergy Foundation’s priorities are:

• Improving the quality of life in our communities and supporting key safety initiatives
• Empowering our communities’ workforce development and educational initiatives
• Promoting local and regional economic development
• Supporting employee leadership and volunteer interests that align with our business interests

Inspired by a passion for the hunt and compassion for the hungry, FHFH is committed to addressing the problem of hunger in America.  Since 1997 FHFH has provided over 24.4 million servings of meat to those in need in communities we serve nationwide.
