More than 150 Southwest Gas employees partnered with The Foster Alliance recently to bring comfort and joy to children in foster care during a large-scale holiday volunteer event at the company’s Phoenix office. As part of Southwest Gas’ BLUE (Building Lives Up Everywhere) employee volunteer program, Southwest Gas employees along with their families assembled 100 new bicycles and made 100 cozy blankets for children in foster care. The bicycles and new helmets will be distributed through the Department of Child Safety to ensure children receive holiday gifts on time, while the blankets will be provided through The Foster Alliance’s resource center to support families year-round.
The Southwest Gas Foundation also contributed $20,000 toward the event, helping to advance The Foster Alliance’s mission of providing essential resources to children in foster care. The collaboration further highlighted the long-standing partnership between Southwest Gas and The Foster Alliance, which began in 2013.
