Volunteer's Efforts Bring Grant from AEP

Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties has been awarded a $150 grant from American Electric Power (AEP) in honor of AEP retiree Kurt Nestel’s volunteer service with the agency.

Nestel drives a delivery route in Louisville once a month and substitutes for other drivers as needed.

AEP’s “Connects” program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their communities and supports causes that are important to them, according the Michael G. Morris, AEP’s chairman, president and CEO. “The grants made by this program in the names of AEP volunteers will help schools and nonprofit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs,” said Morris.

“We’re grateful that AEP supports the volunteer service of its employees and retirees in this way,” said Teresa Barry, CEO of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties. “Kurt and all of our volunteers make it possible for us to fulfill our mission, and we appreciate their service.”
