At a time when community need is as great as ever, PPL is teaming up with employees and retirees to give back and make a difference.

This fall, the company’s charitable giving campaigns in the U.S. raised a record $7 million in employee and retiree pledges, together with matching funds from the corporation’s foundations.

Vincent Sorgi, PPL president and chief executive officer, said the funds generated by this year’s United Way campaign in Pennsylvania, Power of One Campaign in Kentucky and United Way campaign at PPL’s Safari Energy subsidiary in New York City, will support local United Way agencies and nonprofit organizations that are a force for good in our communities.

The funds will assist families struggling with COVID-19; expand educational opportunities for children; support access to health care services, food, shelter and other basic needs; and offer additional assistance that supports healthy communities. In addition, they will build on assistance PPL and its foundations have provided throughout 2020.
