On behalf of the American Electric Power Foundation, Public Service Company of Oklahoma Thursday announced a $2,500 grant to help Western Oklahoma Family Care Center respond to increased needs related to the COVID-19 crisis.
The AEP Foundation is the charitable arm of American Electric Power, parent company of PSO.
PSO External Affairs Manager Mike Hixson says the company recognizes how important the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center is to the community.
This isn’t the first charitable donation the company has made during the pandemic. Hixson says the American Electric Power Foundation has donated over $100,000 statewide.
Based in Elk City, Western Oklahoma Family Care Center is a non-profit organization that serves underprivileged individuals and families in western Oklahoma.
