THE WOODLANDS — Entergy Texas partnered with local food pantries and non-profits to make the holiday season a little brighter for families in Southeast Texas.

“At Entergy, we are always looking for ways to help our community beyond providing power,” said Stuart Barrett, vice president of customer service for Entergy Texas. “The cost of just about everything is going up, so it’s only right we stepped up our commitment to the ongoing fight against hunger. Our local partnerships help ensure Texas families, regardless of their financial status, have access to nourishing meals, especially around the holidays.”

Local organizations receiving funding include Trinity River Food Bank  (which includes San Jacinto County), Meals on Wheels Orange Community Action Association, United Christian Care Center of Vidor Food Pantry, Meals on Wheels Montgomery County, United Board of Missions Food Pantry, Montgomery County Food, Nutrition & Services for Seniors, Robertson County Care Inc., Brazos Valley Food Bank, Central Baptist Church , LA Walters Ministries, Mission Northeast, SETX Food Bank and Keep Us Fed.

Entergy Texas remains committed to building a better future for everyone through financial support, volunteerism, low-income customer service initiatives, advocacy and economic development.

Entergy employees and retirees also support the places they call home by volunteering their time and talents and through charitable donations to The Power to Care and various community programs.
