Atmos Energy Co. has donated $30,000 to the High Plains Food Bank’s “Nourish the Panhandle” disaster-relief fund.
Zack Wilson, HPFB’s executive director, called the contribution a bold and generous donation.
“Atmos’ investment in our mission helps ensure that HPFB can provide food and hope to more neighbors during the immediate crisis and into the future,” Wilson told MyHighPlains.com.
Like every food pantry in the country, HPFB has seen a large increase in requests for assistance from families affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Michael Gonzales, manager of public affairs at Atmos Energy, said his company is proud to assist families in HPFB’s catchment area.
“We are feeding our future,” Gonzales told MyHighPlains.com.
Atmos and HPFB have been partnering to address hunger in the Texas Panhandle during the past decade.
