Atlanta Gas Light

The Atlanta Gas Light Foundation's $1 million gift to the American Red Cross will provide a first-time opportunity for the state of Georgia to see the expansion of the Community Adaptation Program, which focuses on enhancing community resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters. We are grateful to be in a position to provide essential support to fuel our communities for growth and positive impact. #BetterTogether For more details, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/e78eV2E5

Happy #VeteransDay to all those who have served, sacrificed for our freedoms, and protected the American way of life. We appreciate all you have done for this country. We also give a heartfelt thank you to the veterans currently working throughout the Atlanta Gas Light family—your heroic service is greatly valued every day.

We know our dedicated team members may not be the first to come to mind when you think about first responders in our community; but our front line works hard around the clock – responding to urgent and emergency calls and taking swift action to ensure safety. Our teams often work alongside law enforcement officers and firefighters in cases where natural gas infrastructure is compromised, or service has or could be affected by emergency circumstances. As close partners of other first responders in the community, we truly appreciate the commitment and service of all who are the first to respond in times of need. Thank you for all that you do to ensure the safety of our communities! #NationalFirstRespondersDay
