ATLANTA, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gas South, the Southeast's leading natural gas provider, announces the donation of more than $2.2 million to 10 nonprofits in Georgia and Florida that are a part of their Fuel For Good Allies program. The company's give-back initiative to Be A Fuel For Good shares 5% of profits with organizations that support children in need.

"The strongest communities believe in lending a hand to help the next generation maximize their potential, so we are honored to partner with these 10 organizations and share in this important work," said Kevin Greiner, president and CEO of Gas South. "This funding will assist in accomplishing a variety of exciting new efforts for each organization and we look forward to seeing their impact grow."

Each organization selected aligns with Gas South's goal to help families establish strong foundations, meet basic needs and provide positive pathways for students.
