Through its Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities program, Atmos Energy recently gave $2 million during September’s Hunger Action Month to join forces with hundreds of local school districts, food banks and other essential organizations that provide the breakfasts, lunches, snacks and healthy meals.
“Our Kentucky team is focused on nourishing our children and their families in need,” said Kevin Dobbs, Atmos Energy Kentucky/Mid-States Division president. “No child should go to bed hungry, and we are grateful to our local nonprofit and school district partners for helping us ensure that children have regular access to healthy snacks, fresh produce and hearty balanced meals.”
