ATLANTA - May 12, 2016
- AGL Resources and its family of companies will continue their
tradition of strengthening communities during the third annual
Volunteer Week, which runs May 16 to May 21. Employees throughout
the company's service territories will celebrate their year-round
commitments to volunteerism in support of a core company value,
Generosity of Spirit.
More than 900 employees, retirees, community partners, and their
families and friends will concentrate their energy on more than 40
projects that demonstrate the ongoing role they play in shaping the
community and leaving a lasting impact for current and future
generations.
"We take seriously our responsibility to fuel the daily lives of
more than 4.5 million customers each day," said Melanie Platt, AGL
Resources executive vice president and chief people officer. "Each
year during the third week of May, we are proud to put that
commitment on full display. Volunteer Week celebrates our
commitment to volunteerism and highlights our desire to build and
sustain the vibrant communities where our customers and employees
live and work."
The projects, which will be completed in 10 states across the
footprint and which focus on environmental education and
sustainability, community enrichment and energy efficiency, include
beautifying natural trails and sprucing up grounds, planting
community gardens and native plants, organizing food pantries and
delivering meals to seniors.
