By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Baker Hughes

DESCRIPTION:

HOUSTON and LONDON,  May 13, 2021  /3BL Media/ – The Baker Hughes Foundation has announced a $150,000 grant to five organizations that promote food security in local communities. The funds will help the organizations provide food and basic services to meet increased demand prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.   

The organizations that will receive portions of the grant include the Houston Food Bank; West Texas Food Bank; Community Food Initiatives Northeast (CFINE) in Scotland; Action Homeless in Leicester, U.K.; and Douglas County Backpack Buddies in Minden, Nev. These organizations support communities where Baker Hughes has a large operational presence and where Baker Hughes employees volunteer their time, aligning to the Foundation’s goal of supporting the communities where employees live and work.  

“The COVID-19 pandemic and economic environment are stretching food banks and charities to their limits, and they are in need of services and support,” said Brian Worrell, president of the Baker Hughes Foundation and CFO of Baker Hughes. “Food security continues to be a major issue around the world, and our ability to provide these grants is one way we are supporting the tremendous work these organizations are doing to support the community.”
