East Point Energy - Powering Good in Victoria

Each episode, host Chris Doelle sits down with someone playing a vital role in the Food Bank of the Golden Crescents mission of "Helping Heal the Hurt of Hunger."

In this episode of Hunger Action Heroes, host Chris Doelle sits down with Catherine Chapman and Sydney Harness of East Point Energy to talk about the company’s growing presence in Victoria County, its work in utility-scale battery storage, and how projects like these help support grid reliability, energy resilience, and long-term community investment. The conversation also explores East Point’s connection to Equinor, why Texas is such an important energy market, and how the company is working to be a strong local partner as it expands in the region.

Chris, Catherine, and Sydney also discuss what community engagement looks like on the ground — from relationships with the Victoria Economic Development Corporation and conversations around Bloomington ISD, to meeting families at Tejas Fest and learning more about the Crossroads community through local connections and coverage in the Victoria Advocate. It’s a conversation about energy, yes — but also about people, partnership, and showing up in meaningful ways. Source
The episode also highlights East Point Energy’s support of the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent during the food bank’s 40th anniversary year. Catherine and Sydney share why supporting hunger relief felt like such a natural fit for their team and why they’re excited to take part in the celebration, including the food bank’s Singo Bingo 40th anniversary fundraiser — a fun-filled event featuring bingo, an air guitar contest, lip sync performances, games, raffles, and more.

Food donations always welcome at the Food Bank year-round.
