Business notebook: Reliant donates $15,000 to food bank
The Texas energy company Reliant recently provided a donation of $15,000 to the Food Bank of West Central Texas as part of a statewide effort to aid communities that were affected by the mid-February winter storms, the company said in a news release Wednesday.
A total of $500,000 will be divided between 18 food banks around the state, which - according to the release - will provide 1.5 million meals to their communities.
The donation is part of a $$3 million commitment from Reliant and its parent company, NRG Energy Inc., for disaster relief and recovery efforts.
“Texas food banks are an essential lifeline to so many in our communities, and the recent winter storm coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made their services even more critical,” said Reliant president Elizabeth Killinger in the release.
