Food banks play a critical role in caring for vulnerable populations that face food supply inadequacy and nutritional instability, while also offering essential services such as nutrition education, advocacy, and assistance programs that address the root causes of hunger. Providing these nonprofit organizations with resources to collect, store, and distribute food to those in need is an essential part of Atmos Energy’s Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities initiative.
“St. Luke Food Pantry is honored to receive a generous $20,000 donation from Atmos Energy. This significant contribution will directly support our mission to provide nutritious food to families experiencing food insecurity in our community,” said St. Luke Food Pantry Director, Jason Martin.
“With this gift, Atmos Energy continues to demonstrate their deep commitment to fueling safe, thriving communities. Their partnership has a lasting impact, helping us ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.”
“It takes significant resources to fight hunger and address nutritional instability, so the goal of these dollars is to aid food banks who coordinate with local charities, schools, churches, and shelters to support individuals and families struggling to afford basic necessities,” said Lauren Ann Cobb, Atmos Energy manager of public affairs. “As Atmos Energy continues Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities, we are extremely proud to partner with local food banks and further their mission in the areas we serve.”
“Tupelo is a tight knit community that takes care of our citizens. Food insecurity is a prevalent issue and donations like this one from Atmos Energy ensure that less go hungry in Lee County, ” said Mayor Todd Jordan.
