American Water Charitable Foundation Provides $5,000 in COVID-19 Relief to Marion County Food Bank
August 25, 2020 (Chattanooga, TN) – Tennessee American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation have announced that the Foundation is providing a $5,000 grant to the Marion County Food Bank to assist with increased needs families may be experiencing due to the pandemic.
Tennessee American Water, with funds from the American Water Charitable Foundation, donated to the Marion County Food Bank through a special program for COVID-19 relief efforts.
“There has never been a more critical time in our country to support one another or lend a charitable hand to our communities and neighbors in need,” said Tennessee American Water President Darlene Williams. “We know our customers, employees, and neighbors have all been personally impacted by this public health emergency. While Tennessee American Water continues diligently working to provide essential water services, we are grateful to these organizations for the incredible work they are doing to care for people.”
Marion County Food Bank is an emergency food source for Marion County. During the COVID-19 health emergency the food bank is experiencing an increase in demand for food brought about by an increase in the number of families (approximately 60%) for whom the wage earner(s) are now unemployed. The grant has enabled the food bank to provide food for these families in addition to their regular client families.
