Duke Energy is a company that values making a difference in the communities where they are located. Every year, East Bend Station employees are provided a list of local organizations where funds could be directed. The employees then vote for the one they would like to support. This year, they selected Go Pantry! GO Pantry has been fortunate to have received several grants from the Duke Energy East Bend Station with support from the Duke Energy Foundation. These funds have been used to purchase food for our weekend GO Bags and GO Boxes for local students in need.

Not only does Duke support GO Pantry financially, executives and team members from local plants have volunteered in the warehouse, allowing them the opportunity to see where their money is being used. Duke Energy promotes supporting the community by volunteering. They have a community service program that encourages employees to give back to their community.

Thank you, Duke Energy, for having a heart for GO Pantry and for our mission to help local students who are experiencing food insecurity.
