Putting Purpose into Action

04/22/2021

At Gas South, our purpose is to Be a Fuel for Good. We are proud to have not only demonstrated this through our promise to give 5% of our profits to children in need but also through our employee commitment to actively serve in our community. Our contributions mean more than just a corporate check; it’s a corporate check with an army of volunteers behind it.

We enjoy putting our purpose into action every month from volunteer events in and around Atlanta, to donation pick-ups at our building, to many of our employees serving as non-profit board members. We are proud to highlight our commitment over the years that has made an impact in our community in honor of National Volunteer Week.

Here are a few examples of the ways we’ve been putting our time, talent and financial contributions into action since 2019:

2020 Volunteer Efforts:

490 hours logged throughout the year.
450 food kits assembled for children and families facing food insecurity.
27 nonprofit organizations benefitted from Gas South’s volunteerism.
All 10 departments were represented.

2019 Volunteer Efforts:

Over 1100 hours logged throughout the year.
Dental care provided for 800 elementary school students.
Education for over 100 students at the YMCA Gas South STEAM Lab.
Gas South employees participated at 23 volunteer events.

We are also proud to have several of our employees who understand the importance of taking it a step further to serve on non-profit boards for organizations in our community.

Gas South also assists in helping employees find the right board to serve on via our very own Board Service form. In addition, we have offered Board Service training in the past for employees to learn more about the social, career and personal well-being benefits of being a board member.

Gas South believes in providing employees support and opportunity to learn valuable skills, increase networking opportunities and discover a sense of purpose through serving. We are incredibly proud of our employees, leadership and partners for working every day to make a difference in our communities and in people’s lives.
