In West Virginia, there’s a lot of entrepreneurial spirit. There’s a lot of resilience. There’s a drive. There is a reason why companies that do come here and grow here say they have such a loyal workforce. We want to prove ourselves. We are hard workers in West Virginia. For people who’ve never been to West Virginia, they might have to sell them on West Virginia in a little bit, but they also are telling us that once people get here, they don’t want to leave.

“Where else can you shut your laptop and within ten minutes be in a state park, and within 45 minutes be in a national park? The ability to have that work-life balance here is just something that isn’t present in other metropolitan areas.”
– Aaron Sporck, Huntington Bank

“To think that someone could serve our country at 18, 19, 20 years old and one day not have food on their table, it’s just not OK with me,” Prather said. “We can do better here in West Virginia.” – Huntington Bank Regional President Chad Prather

Veterans are the last to ask for handouts, yet so many in West Virginia are hungry. Help the Mountaineer FoodBank in serving veterans – just like they’ve served us. Join Huntington Bank and other community partners in our effort to expand the Veterans Table program to Charleston and Parkersburg – so that every single veteran in the Mountain State has food on the table.

Support Veterans Table

Despite their sacrifices, many of our veterans have to worry about putting food on the dinner table. Mountaineer Food Bank is dedicated to helping these veterans by providing monthly food boxes.
