@Sen_JoeManchin@FacingHungerFB continues to see more and more families due to increasing food costs and higher costs all the way around. Their stories are ready for you to hear. Come see them.
Right now, West Virginia has more than $110M in unused welfare funds. Hunger numbers soared and West Virginians struggled to pay rent during the pandemic.
So, why is the money sitting unused?
🧵
In support of @WVGovernor Jim Justice's gracious funding through the CARES Act, in January we distributed $580k to 116 pantries & hunger relief partners--$5k each. Because the Governor did more to fight hunger, we all can do more! #togetherwearefacinghunger@FeedingAmerica
To celebrate #MLK Day, our Braskem team members participated in events to benefit communities in which we operate in, including creating toys for homeless pets, Community Day of Service at @PSUBrandywine, volunteering at @FacingHungerFB & more! #volunteer#community#giveback
The two WV food banks and our network of partner agencies as well as the many Missions across the state we partner with are so blessed to expand our capacity and continue to serve communities state wide. Many thanks to @JimJusticeWV@LarryPack@chadlovejoy & the @wvlegislature!

“I’ve been very blessed in my life. I’ve had a good life, and basically my focus right now is giving back.”
