ABB Inc. Employees Support Boy Scouts Annual Scouting for Food Drive.   At this time of year, when ABB’s Sherry Stahl, Administrative Assistant to Marketing and Engineering, and Teresa Walker, Supply Chain Manager, get together, they are talking about how much food and support they can generate for the annual Scouting for Food Drive. In previous years, between 400 and 500 lbs. of non-perishable food has been collected from employees at the Mt. Pleasant facility.  This year, ABB is helping to grow the drive by matching one dollar per pound collected.

For over 20 years, ABB Inc. has been a strong supporter of Scouting for Food since its inception. ABB’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, Chris Reinbold says, "Especially in today's economic conditions, we see this food drive as critical to the stability of our community and an opportunity for our employees to demonstrate their support and care for those in need. We are encouraged that our national ABB Foundation is able to provide matching support to leverage our local efforts.”

BIG STEP - PUC Awards 2-1-1 to PA2-1-1
Progress toward making 2-1-1 available in Pennsylvania occurred on February 11th when the Public Utility Commission took action. PUC awarded the number to PA2-1-1, a non-profit group, focused on bringing this centralized helpline to Pennsylvania. 2-1-1 is an easy to remember telephone number and web address that, when available, connects people with important community health and human services and volunteer opportunities, and is being spearheaded by United Ways and Information and
Referral Centers in states and local communities.

PA has been one of the last states in the U.S. to enact this service.  Nancy Kukovich, Board Chair of PA2-1-1, and President of the United Way of Westmoreland County says "Families in need deserve a simple way to connect to the critical services in our communities. We hope to get this started in a few key urban centers across the state in the coming year."
