We're proud to support the first responders who keep our communities safe every day.
Our SW Appalachia team recently hosted local emergency management agencies from across the Ohio Valley at our Wheeling, WV office — touring an active rig, sharing safety practices and strengthening the partnerships that matter most when it counts.
We were honored to present six organizations with $20,000 each to support local emergency response capabilities. These funds were raised through our annual charity clay shoot in partnership with the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley:
Brooke County EMA
Ohio County EMA
Marshall County EMA
Wetzel County EMA
Monroe County EMA
Monroe County Sheriff's Office
As Community Affairs Manager Stephanie Paluda put it: "These agencies are on the front lines of protecting our communities every day. By working together and sharing knowledge, we can strengthen emergency preparedness and ensure the safety of our employees, our neighbors, and the region as a whole."
