Georgia Power employees in Douglas and Paulding Counties continue to support their local communities from a distance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the Citizen of Georgia Power volunteer chapter participated in a “Back to School” Backpack Drive to support Dallas Elementary School in Paulding County and S.H.A.R.E House and Teen Center in Douglas County, a non-profit organization providing shelter for battered and homeless women and children. 

Georgia Power employees helped prepare 100 supply-filled backpacks in total, with 50 going to each organization. The supplies can be used as students head back to school – whether they be in the classroom or in a virtual environment.

Citizens of Georgia Power is the employee volunteer arm of Georgia Power Company. With 42 chapters statewide and more than 3,400 members, consisting of employees and their spouses, volunteers contributed more than 143,000 hours equal to $3.5 million last year.
