“We’re excited to offer the annual Impact Investment Awards in addition to giving back 5% of our profits to the needs of kids and families,” said Carley Stephens, Gas South’s Manager of Community Affairs. “We know this investment will help make significant community impacts in Atlanta Metro and beyond. However, choosing a nonprofit to vote for will be a tough choice as they all do such incredible work for youth in our communities.
