“We are extremely grateful to the Essential Foundation for investing in our mission to fight rising hunger rates and developing resources for Delaware County’s families,” said George Matysik, executive director of Share Food Program, a beneficiary of Fall for Food Banks. “Every single person in our region should have reliable access to good food, and partners like Essential are helping us make that a reality.”

“At Essential, we believe our success is inherently tied to the well-being of the communities we serve – that's why we’re so passionate about supporting organizations that align with our mission,” said Chris Franklin, Essential Utilities chairman and CEO. “The work we do through the Essential Foundation is an investment in a brighter future for everyone.
