Surprise FirstEnergy Foundation "Gifts of the Season" Make Spirits Bright for Two Ohio Nonprofits Awards of $10,000 each will help provide food, shelter and essential services AKRON, Ohio, Dec.
16, 2025 -- This holiday season, the FirstEnergy Foundation is sharing the spirit of giving by awarding $20,000 in "Gifts of the Season" grants to two nonprofit organizations making a positive impact in Ohio communities served by FirstEnergy Corp.

As part of a commitment to help address food and housing insecurity, the Foundation awarded grants to organizations in Ohio that meet critical needs through programs that provide food, shelter and other essential services: Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley ($10,000): The grant supports programs that provide meals, shelter and vital resources to those experiencing homelessness in the Youngstown area.
In the last year, the Rescue Mission has provided more than 130,000 meals to local people in need and sheltered more than a 1,000 people overnight, including men, women and children. Martin Luther King Kitchen for the Poor ($10,000): The grant supports efforts to fight hunger and serve nutritious meals to vulnerable residents in Toledo.
Located in Toledo's central city, the MLK Kitchen feeds more than 200 people each day, including school children and the elderly. In 2024, they served 36,500 meals and distributed 3,000 food boxes to the south Toledo community. 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."
