Recognizing the critical needs of all members of a society
is the true measure of a community and a company. Cooperation among government,
nonprofit organizations and businesses to meet these needs at the local level
creates a positive force that strengthens the community and improves conditions
for all of its people.
Dominion and its operating companies are involved in developing
and supporting programs and organizations that provide the health and human
services our communities require.
A Few Examples...
Susan Dew Hoff Memorial Clinic - A $5,000
grant will aid in providing health and dental services for individuals who are
uninsured or under-insured and/or elderly residents of Harrison and Lewis Counties
in West Virginia. In 2004 the clinic had 1,484 dental clients.
Mary Bryant Home for the Blind - A $2,500
