🏘️ Community
Western Midstream donated ($25,000) to the West Texas Food Bank after winning the Permian Basin Cook-Off yesterday, which helped the food bank buy (30,000 pounds) of food for local families during the busy holiday season.
CEO Libby Stephens said the gift boosted supplies as the food bank recovered after a government shutdown.
