TEXAS FOOD BANKS BENEFIT FROM DOMINION FOUNDATION’S MORE THAN $1 MILLION DONATION
RICHARDSON, Texas – Two hungry relief agencies will benefit from a more than $1 million donation announced today by the Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources, one of the nation’s largest energy producers and parent company of Richardson-based Cirro Energy. The NETWORK of Community Ministries, Inc. and North Texas Food Bank of Dallas will each receive $10,000.
North Texas Food Bank has programs that benefit 917 feeding and education programs in 13 North Texas counties, including food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, after-school programs, senior citizen centers and other social service centers. NETWORK of Community Ministries, which is also based in Richardson, is a coalition of religious, civic and social organizations that provides health and emergency services to children, low-income families, and senior citizens in need within the area, including food from its pantry that is supplied in part by the North Texas Food Bank.
“Since it was founded, Cirro Energy has supported the community with programs such as Forever Funds, which benefits local charities, religious organizations and schools,” stated Michael Rose, managing director of Cirro Energy. “Dominion’s recent purchase of Cirro Energy plugged us into tremendous resources that we’ve leveraged to benefit consumers and the community. As part of Dominion’s $1 million donation to food banks across the country, Cirro will help fund 100,000 meals in our community.”
Cirro Energy is a Texas retail electric provider that supplies about 2.3 million megawatt hours of competitively priced electricity annually to more than 50,000 residential and commercial customers in Texas.
“We’re deeply honored by Cirro Energy’s generous gift,” stated Britni Cannon, development director for NETWORK of Community Ministries. “We look forward to working together with Cirro Energy to make our community stronger by extending a much needed helping hand to others. This gift gives us a surge of energy to maintain our dedication to transform lives.”
