Southwest Gas Foundation Marks 60th Anniversary with Month of Giving

The Southwest Gas Foundation, the charitable branch of Southwest Gas Corporation, is kicking off its 60th anniversary by introducing the "Month of Giving" this June. This initiative exemplifies the Foundation's commitment to strengthening and uplifting communities across Arizona, California, and Nevada.

As part of this celebration, the Foundation is donating $60,000 aimed at providing essential hygiene items through 6,000 personal care packages for individuals experiencing homelessness. This initiative underscores the importance of community support and exemplifies the critical role that Southwest Gas plays in the lives of its customers and neighbors.

A Month Dedicated to Giving Back

During the Month of Giving, Southwest Gas employees will engage in assembling care packages filled with hygiene essentials. The packages will be distributed through partnerships with local nonprofits, ensuring they reach those most in need. Among the nonprofits involved are Central Arizona Shelter Services, Northern Nevada Dream Center, Youth on Their Own, HELP of Southern Nevada, and Family Assistance Program, all of which are dedicated to serving the homeless population.

"For 60 years, the Southwest Gas Foundation has cultivated meaningful partnerships with local nonprofits to support our neighbors in need and truly make a difference in our communities," said Justin Brown, President and CEO of Southwest Gas. He emphasized the company's belief that giving back is essential to their culture and mission.
