Dominion Energy Supports Critical Community Needs by Donating $1.6 Million to Charities Meeting Critical Community Needs
Focus is housing/shelter, access to health care, and food security in communities served by Dominion Energy. Grants to be shared by 217 organizations in 12 states.
Dominion Energy is once again starting the new year by awarding hundreds of critical community needs grants to help feed, shelter and care for people in need. This year, $1.6 million will be shared by more than 200 nonprofit organizations providing essential human services in 12 states. This is the fourth year the company has awarded more than $1 million to meet critical community needs. “Each year we look at ways to support charitable organizations that work day-in and day-out to make a positive impact in our communities,” said Hunter A. Applewhite, president of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. “These grants will help provide the food, shelter and medical care needed by many for a better life.”
In addition, SCANA companies that are now part of Dominion Energy awarded similar community needs grants of more than $186,000 in 2018 to 31 non-profit organizations in North and South Carolina for food, shelter and medical care. Dominion Energy has pledged to maintain and expand charitable giving programs in regions of the Carolinas previously served by SCANA gas and electric companies. Dominion Energy and SCANA Corporation merged in early January.
Interfaith Community Outreach, Inc. was awarded a $10,000 grant to be used to provide assistance to Dare & Currituck County Residents in need with Housing/Shelter and Access to Health Care. ICO would like to extend a sincere thank you to Dominion Energy for helping take care of their neighbors in need.

“Believe you can and you are halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Dear Friends & Supporters of ICO,
As I shook hands with a cancer client who was so grateful for Interfaith Community Outreach’s (ICO) help providing transportation for chemotherapy treatments, he asked me to thank YOU! Yesterday ICO helped a young mother struggling to pay an electric bill due to the illness of her son. She hugged me and asked me to thank YOU! We just helped a family who found themselves homeless after their home was flooded by Hurricane Michael, and they asked me to thank YOU!
Thanks to your generous support over the past 13 years, YOU have made it possible to help over 7,000 families. YOU have enabled your neighbors in need to get back on the pathway of being productive, self-sustainable citizens. It is YOU who enables ICO staff and volunteers to keep the vision alive of ‘Bridging The Gap,” so no one will face an emergency crisis alone. To YOU, for each of them, I say thank YOU.
The quote above byTheodore Roosevelt reminds us that believing is the beginning of accomplishing any worthwhile goal. But to reach the goal requires commitment and action. ICO provides an avenue for your compassion to be connected. Believe in ICO and we are halfway there. Say Yes, and donate to ICO and we can fulfill our mission and vision. From all the Staff, Board, Volunteers and Clients, we would like to wish YOU a Happy Holiday Season!
Thank YOU,
Jenniffer Albanese, Executive Director
