Thank you for your patience.
Appalachian Power Company (APCo) employees spent nearly 6,000 hours volunteering in our communities in 2025. Our shareholder-funded APCo Foundation also contributed more than $2.4 million to organizations doing incredible work across the 57 counties we serve.
For 100 years, we have worked to power possibilities in Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. That means maintaining a reliable grid that supports the homes, schools and businesses our communities depend on every day. It also means using our resources to create meaningful change and help build a brighter future for Appalachia. Every year, we support organizations addressing critical needs in our communities. We're especially committed to supporting food security, disaster relief, emergency services, housing initiatives and education.

APCo hosted a community food drive in Hurricane, helping collect nearly 9,000 pantry items to support neighbors facing food insecurity. The donations allowed local organizations to provide meals and pantry staples to families in need.
"We know that many are struggling to put food on their tables," said George Porter, APCo director of communications. "We hope that our donation of pantry items will help ensure one less worry for families in our communities."
The APCo Foundation provides support to Roanoke's Taubman Museum of Art, enabling free general admission for anyone who visits. The museum was recently named the third-best free museum in the country! Our collaboration with the museum breaks down financial barriers and ensures everyone can access creativity and culture.
"The Taubman's mission is to bring people and art together, for discovery, learning and enjoyment," said Cindy Petersen, Taubman Museum of Art's executive director. "That's what we do every day, and it is accessible to everyone in our community because of the APCo Foundation."
APCo partnered with WVU Eye Institute and Wheeling Health Right to sponsor an eye clinic that provided complete exams to patients in our local community. The event offered both improved vision and important insight into patients' overall health.
"These eye exams did more than improve sight," said Rebecca Coakley with WVU Eye Institute. "They opened doors to better health and identified conditions that might have gone undetected otherwise. We're incredibly grateful for APCo's support in making this possible."
Bonnie's Bus is a fully functioning mobile mammography unit that provides breast cancer screening throughout West Virginia, especially in rural areas or parts of the state with limited or no access to healthcare facilities. Its critical need has significantly grown in 15 years, which is why the APCo Foundation stepped up to provide funding for a second bus.
"APCo recognizes the benefit of this program and what we're able to do to change lives in West Virginia," said Kristin Margolin Anderson, vice president of marketing and philanthropy at WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals. "We're just so grateful for [the APCo Foundation's] donation because we want to break down any barrier we can for patients, so they can get this routine screening."
We joined forces with CSX, the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce, Food City and others to help Santa travel across the region for the 83rd annual Santa Train. Together, we helped distribute more than 15,000 toys; nearly 5,000 backpacks, stocked with books, hats and gloves; 2,000 rolls of wrapping paper; and treats to rural Appalachian communities.
"Santa Train was a family tradition for us," said Bryan Clemons, APCo distribution work plan manager. "From a young age, I remember my grandparents taking me. As the train rides through those communities today, you can really tell how much this means to them."
We regularly participate in the United Way Day of Caring, one of our region's largest single-day volunteering events.
In Virginia last year, our team helped assemble and distribute food boxes at the Rescue Mission of Roanoke. In West Virginia, team members spent the day fixing up women's shelters operated by the YWCA Charleston's Resolve Family Abuse Program.
"The YWCA is an important lifeline for women and children leaving dangerous situations," said Robin Watson, APCo customer services account representative. "We were happy to help their shelter feel more like home."
