nonprofits as we recognize our Virginia employees’ achievements,”

Here is a closer look at how T-Mobile's donations are making a
difference.
(Arlington, VA) USO — The USO strengthens America’s
military service members by keeping them connected to family, home,
and country, throughout their service to the nation.
“The USO is grateful for the generous support of T-Mobile. The
contributions they make have a direct impact on the lives of our
service members and their families, especially during the upcoming
holiday season. This can be one of the most challenging times for
those who are deployed and separated from their loved ones. These
partnerships make such a difference for our service members and
their families,” said John Falin, Executive Director of USO
Mid-Atlantic.
(Portsmouth, VA) H.E.R. – Help and Emergency Response
—Help and Emergency Response, Inc. provides leadership, advocacy,
and resources to survivors and communities affected by domestic
violence, sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking. The
work of Help and Emergency Response, Inc. will create a safe and
prosperous future for all through awareness, services, and training
for lasting change in the communities we serve.
“We are so thankful to T-Mobile for providing H.E.R. with this
$10,000 grant. Without funding like this we wouldn't be able to
provide the lifesaving emergency services that we do to survivors
in need. This money will allow us to support over 500 survivors of
Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Homelessness within the
cities of Portsmouth and Chesapeake, Virginia. These funds will go
into our crisis service programs which provide basic needs,
stabilization, empowerment services, and so much more. We could not
do what we do without the support of the community. Thank you for
supporting our mission of providing leadership, advocacy, and
resources,” said Deborah Apperson, Community Engagement Manager,
Help and Emergency Response, Inc.
(Richmond, VA) Children’s Hospital Foundation —
Children’s Hospital Foundation is dedicated to funding and
advocating for pediatric initiatives that improve the status of
health care and the quality of life for children in our region. The
Foundation provides support for the programs and initiatives of
Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and the more than 70,000
children and families it serves each year. Children’s Hospital
Foundation depends on the support of individuals, businesses, and
other organizations to help us continue our mission of supporting
excellence in health care for children.
“Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU relies heavily on our
community to ensure all kids receive world-class care right here at
home. It’s with partners like T-Mobile that allow us to continue to
elevate our care for children in our region and beyond. We are so
grateful for the support from T-Mobile this year!” Stephanie Allan,
Vice President for Corporate Partnerships at Children’s Hospital
Foundation.
(Richmond, VA) The Fatherhood Foundation of Virginia —
Fatherhood Foundation of Virginia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit purpose
driven to strengthen men to be better husbands/co-parents and more
active fathers for true systemic change in the Commonwealth.
“When I heard the news, I was speechless. A big corporation that
is willing to help a grassroots nonprofit organization like ours,
not just the big ones everyone has heard of, shows a true
commitment to the community T-Mobile serves. We are truly honored."
Chris Beach, Chief Executive Officer, The Fatherhood Foundation of
Virginia.
(Verona, VA) Blue Ridge Area Food Bank — The Blue Ridge
Area Food Bank and its network of 400+ partners help provide food
for people living with hunger across 25 counties and 8 cities
throughout the Blue Ridge region. The Food Bank operates four
distribution centers in Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Winchester, and
Verona.
“With colder months ahead and inflation still very much present,
our guests face unfathomable choices between putting food on their
table, heating their home, or paying for other critical, daily
expenses. Partners like T-Mobile help the Food Bank fill in those
gaps and set a place at the table for everyone,” said Millie
Winstead, the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank’s Director of Development
& Community Engagement.
T-Mobile's Ongoing Commitment to Virginia
