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). This initiative underscores UGI's long-standing dedication to fostering literacy and supporting local education. The literacy kits include books and educational materials designed to help students build reading skills and develop a love for learning.
The partnership between UGI and RIF dates back 35 years, during which time the utility has contributed to improving literacy rates in the communities it serves. By providing these kits, UGI aims to directly impact students in schools across its service area. The company's employees are actively involved in assembling and distributing the kits, demonstrating a hands-on approach to corporate social responsibility.
UGI Utilities, a natural gas and electric utility, serves more than 760,000 customers in 46 counties in Pennsylvania and one county in Maryland. This literacy initiative is part of a broader effort to support the communities where its customers live and work. The company believes that education is a cornerstone of community success, and promoting literacy is a key component of that belief.
The announcement was made on April 22, 2026, and highlights the importance of corporate partnerships in addressing educational needs. UGI's collaboration with RIF has resulted in the donation of thousands of books and literacy resources over the years, benefiting countless students. The current effort to deliver literacy kits is a continuation of that legacy.
