The Center In Midland has received a $3,000 donation from Vistra Energy and its subsidiary Dynergy on Monday, which will go to its youth development program.

Along with the youth development program, the Center is also responsible for a food bank, thrift shop, mentoring services and counseling among other resources. They have on-site counselors and community volunteers to help run the operation.

“We are beyond grateful for the support of Vistra/Dynegy,” said Jen Miller, Executive Director of The Center. “On behalf of the lives of so many beautiful children and families their generosity will impact, thank you!”

Members from Vistra and Dynegy were at the Center yesterday along with State Representative Josh Kail to present the award, which is part of a $10,000 initiative by Vistra to organizations in Beaver, Butler, and Washington counties.

“The Center in Midland is all about helping neighbors. Their goodwill is changing lives and giving hope and strength to children and families throughout the region,” said state Rep. Joshua Kail (R-15th), who represents portions of Beaver County, including Midland. “I’m grateful for the commitment Vistra and Dynegy have made to support these local efforts.”
