Over 1,000 lunches were donated to doctors, nurses, first responders and staff at the Washington health systems hospitals in Washington and Green counties in Pennsylvania last week, as the Marcellus Shale Coalition and several of its members chipped in to support the local health care system amid COVID-19, according to the Observer-Reporter.

The Marcellus Shale Coalition members who chipped in to order lunch from a locally owned and operated pizzeria included Alta Resources, Cabot Oil & Gas, Chevron, Greylock Energy, Olympus Energy, Penn E&R, Range Resources and Southwestern Energy.

“We have the deepest appreciation for the doctors, nurses and support staff working on the front lines in the battle against COVID-19,” said Marcellus Shale Coalition president David Spigelmyer. “They are true heroes and as they support communities during these challenging times, we wanted to find a way to support them in return, while also helping local restaurants affected by social distancing orders.”
