Atmos Energy employees pledged $827,495 during the company’s annual Week of Giving campaign, held Sept. 13-17. The funds will benefit No Kid Hungry, The Salvation Army, and United Way. 

Through its Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities initiative, Atmos Energy will match all employee donations to those nonprofits — bringing the total amount raised to more than $1.6 million. 

These funds, to be distributed across the eight states Atmos Energy serves, are focused on three key beneficiaries: students, heroes, and neighbors.  

“Our extraordinary employees give of their time, their talent, and their resources throughout the year to support our communities, our school districts, after school programs, and food banks, as part of our commitment to fueling safe and thriving communities,” said Kevin Akers, Atmos Energy president and CEO.  “No Kid Hungry, The Salvation Army, United Way and organizations like Homes For Our Troops are invaluable partners that reinforce our enduring commitment to combat childhood illiteracy, provide for food insecure households and honor our everyday heroes who keep our country and communities safe, and healthy.” 

Homes For Our Troops is an organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans, helping them to rebuild their lives.
