Dominion Energy is donating $550,000 to organizations that serve veterans and military families in seven states.
According to a release, the organizations will receive $50,000 each, funded through the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation.
“Many of our brave servicemen and women return to civilian life only to struggle with employment, financial hardships, housing or health issues. These grants will help to strengthen programs that provide an important safety net for veterans and their families seeking employment, shelter, medical care and more,” stated Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation President Hunter Applewhite in a release.
The following are recipients of the funds in Virginia:
