From gardening to providing support for neighborhood initiatives, our employees are making a difference in Ohio Edison territory.

Members of our aDAPT Project Team were able to safely volunteer their time at Pegasus Therapeutic Horse Farm in Hartville, Ohio. Their volunteer efforts focused on working in the farm’s garden.

The FirstEnergy Foundation presented a $9,000 grant to the East Akron Neighborhood​ Development Corp (EANDC) for general operations. EANDC’s mission is to strengthen communities by providing affordable housing for all through quality rental housing, practical homeownership opportunities and neighborhood-based revitalization efforts.
