Michigan Gas Utilities (MGU) employees are adding to their support for their communities thanks to an impressive year of working safely. MGU employees are directing $2,500 donations to local chapters of Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement.
The donations are part of the MGU Safety Charity Challenge, a companywide program to encourage employees to live and work safely while positively impacting their local communities. Employees have the opportunity to direct a contribution toward one of several charities at the end of each quarter when safety goals are met.
This winter, MGU employees were able to make two $2,500 donations. One donation recognized employees for achieving fourth-quarter safety goals, while the other was in honor of employees meeting their safety goals for the full year in 2025.
In total, MGU employees directed $12,500 toward charitable organizations through the Safety Charity Challenge last year.
