“For it is in giving that we receive.” – Saint Francis of Assisi

The holiday season is a time of festive cheer, twinkle lights, and time spent with family and friends. While we bask in the merriment of the season, we also enjoy the spirit of holiday giving.  

One of our favorite activities as a company, is the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. This year marks our 15th year participating in the program. Each year, we receive tags with a variety of recipients including veterans, seniors, and children. Our employees are able to select a tag and provide a gift for that recipient. This year we filled 100 tags and upon completion provided well over 350 gifts to those individuals. Some tags had 10 gifts to them!

The Salvation Army is active throughout our community all year long and plays a huge part in the lives of many individuals in our area. Particularly during the holiday season, the organization provides support and comfort to those who need it most. They affirm, "The holidays can bring added financial and emotional stress to families and individuals living in poverty. From gifts for children in need to special meals for those who would otherwise go without fellowship on the holidays and meeting other basic needs - we aim to bring joy back into the season."

We hope the spirit of giving is alive and well within your hearts and homes this holiday season. We thank our colleagues who have so generously contributed to this cause, our employee volunteers who go above and beyond each year to ensure the program is a success, and the Salvation Army volunteers and contributors who spark joy throughout our community each year with their efforts.

From our family to yours, happy holidays from UGI Energy Services!
