UGI Utilities employees are donating hundreds of literacy kits to schools as part of the company's celebration of 35 years of partnering with Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). The initiative underscores UGI's long-standing commitment to fostering literacy and supporting education in the communities it serves.
The literacy kits, which include books and educational materials, are being distributed to local schools to help enhance students' reading skills and encourage a love for learning. This effort is part of a broader community outreach program by UGI Utilities, a natural gas and electric utility serving over 760,000 customers in 46 counties in Pennsylvania and one county in Maryland.
"We are proud to continue our partnership with Reading Is Fundamental, an organization that shares our dedication to education and literacy," said a UGI spokesperson. "By providing these literacy kits, we hope to inspire young students and support their academic growth."
The announcement comes as UGI Utilities marks 35 years of collaboration with RIF, a leading nonprofit focused on promoting literacy among children and families. Over the years, the partnership has resulted in the distribution of thousands of books and educational resources to schools across the region.
