Torrence Hinton, FirstEnergy's Ohio President: "The holidays can be especially tough for families in need, and colder weather adds even more pressure.
For neighbors without a warm bed or a place to call home, Ohio's harsh conditions make shelter a lifeline. Thanks to the incredible work of our nonprofit partners, more people will have access to warm meals, safe shelter and the care they deserve. We're grateful to stand alongside these organizations in supporting our communities."
