Meridian Waste Virginia, Petersburg, Virginia, announced it has made a $5,000 donation to Petersburg’s Utility Assistance Fund (UAF) to assist with maintaining water connectivity for city residents negatively financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We believe in clean and healthy communities and hope that our financial contributions in these unprecedented times show that we stand behind our communities,” Meridian Waste Virginia Area President Nathan Geldner says. “Water is a basic necessity, and we are humbled to be able to provide this vital resource along with quality solid waste collection services for Petersburg residents.”
The week prior, Meridian Waste Virginia donated $4,000 to The Dance Life Company LLC. Dance Life focuses on providing dance instruction and a creative outlet for young women, the vast majority of whom are minorities from low-income neighborhoods.
