CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — About 2,000 pounds of food was recently stocked at the Raymond Wolfe Center’s pantry in Kingwood thanks to the efforts of some Mon Power employees.
Employees at Mon Power’s Fort Martin Power Station began collecting food items at the power plant months before summer began in order to help Preston County families feed their out-of-school children as part of FirstEnergy’s Harvest for Hunger campaign, which collects food and funds for local pantries, according to a FirstEnergy release.
