“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.
A deep commitment to community service is a cornerstone of UGI Energy Services' organizational culture. The United Way holds a special place in our hearts and is at the forefront of our community impact initiatives.
UGI Energy Services was recently recognized as The Salvation Army's "Halo Donor" of 2023. This honor is given to a company or organization that has accepted and filled a large quantity of Angel Tree gift tags during the holiday season.
As the UGI family observes National Women’s History Month and its theme of “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion,” UGI Energy Services applauds the contributions of its many colleagues giving back and supporting our communities throughout the year. Among those is our colleague, Stacey Taylor.
“The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.” – John Greenleaf Whittier
It is Autumn – which means one thing at UGI Energy Services – United Way kickoff time is here! We are pleased to welcome our 28th consecutive year of donating to this charitable organization, here in the area that we live and work.
UGI Energy Services recently had another successful year participating in the Angel Tree Program. Our company had 100 tags split amongst Veterans, Seniors & children in our community. Each tag represents a person, and includes their Christmas wish list. By coming together for this cause, we were able to donate over 500 gifts to these 100 people. This year marked the 13th year of UGIES participating in the Angel Tree Program. We are so grateful for the generosity and kindness of employees for supporting others during this holiday season. Each year this program is organized by Heather Ayala, who goes above and beyond to assure it is a success.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season draws near, it is a perfect time to reflect on all we have to be grateful. This is the time of year to count our blessings, and give back to those that may not have the same advantages that we do. Supporting our local communities through the United Way is one of the ways UGI Energy Services employees give back. From providing monetary donations to volunteering, hundreds of thousands of people in Berks County are served through 80 programs at 33 partner agencies supported by the United Way. Each year, UGI Energy Services campaigns to raise money to support the United Way. The campaign includes a loaned campaign specialist (LCS) from our business, giving out incentives to encourage donations, creating videos on why we should donate, and more. As the year comes to a close, the final results of our United Way campaign are here!
