United Way
A Significant Partnership Spanning the Commonwealth
UGI’s partnership with United Way spans the Commonwealth and represents a significant commitment on the part of both UGI and its employees.
UGI employees freely give both their time and resources to this national system of volunteers, contributors and local charities helping people in their own communities.
During this year’s Employee Giving Campaign, pledges to United Way organizations in our service area consisted of $320,230.93 from UGI Employees and $10,375 from UGI Retirees – totaling $330,605.93.
As a further commitment, UGI employees also participate in United Way Day of Caring activities across the service area.
