Building strong communities is hard work and one of the most important things we do. We're dedicated to helping our communities be more vibrant places to live, work, and play, and hope to earn their support by being involved and concerned corporate citizens.
Our community involvement draws on the unique talents of our employees as well as the resources of our business. Through community giving, in-kind donations, partnerships and volunteering, we demonstrate our commitment to programs that address community-specific needs.
As a company, we work with a number of community-based partners throughout our service areas to positively impact the overall quality of life where our employees and neighbors live and work. It takes more than a one-time grant or volunteer effort to make a lasting difference, so we seek out and support organizations that understand how to best meet the needs of the community.
Liberty has a proud tradition of community service. Our employees are involved in giving back to their communities at every level, from performing hands on volunteer work, to organizing fundraisers, to leading non-profit boards and civic groups. One of their largest efforts is the annual United Way campaign. Over the last five years, through fundraisers and payroll contributions Liberty Utilities and its employees have contributed nearly $1 million to United Way organizations across our service area.
Liberty is asking for young artists to show us what water conservation means to you. Students attending kindergargen through sixth grade in the Liberty service area are eligible to enter the Be Water Wise art contest. Prizes will be awarded to the winners, chosen by a panel of Liberty judges based on creativity and the impact of the message. All participants will receive a reusable Liberty water bottle to help keep you hydrated. Click below for more information.
