Fortisalberta Launches COVID-19 Relief For Communities
FortisAlberta is donating $100,000 to Food Banks, Women’s Shelters and Indigenous communities to support the most vulnerable in our service area. FortisAlberta serves over 550,000 customers in 240 communities with electricity distribution service.
“We recognize that now more than ever, our customers are counting on us in many ways to help Alberta see its way through the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mike Mosher, FortisAlberta President and CEO. “We know how important it is to ensure that the medical community has the power they need to run life-saving equipment and that people at home can stay connected. We also want to reach out to our customers as neighbours and friends to help them through these uncertain times in the best way we know how, by supporting food banks across the province.”
FortisAlberta is working with Food Banks Alberta (FBA) to create a plan to distribute the funds and engage their employees to deliver food hampers to those who are isolated or immobile. FortisAlberta has 1,100 employees and operation facilities in 50 communities to serve their customers.
