Employee Volunteerism
Volunteering is at the heart of Nicor Gas’ community programs.
For over 20 years, Nicor Gas has had a formal program, with strong management support. Our volunteers have helped beautify homes, shelters and nature centers, construct homes, sort food and prepare care kits for our neighbors in need. Nicor Gas employees are inextricably woven into the communities we are privileged to serve. We maintain local offices across our service territory to ensure we deliver an exceptional customer experience. We are committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve and believe in giving back to the community.

Charitable Giving
At Nicor Gas, we believe that part of our corporate responsibility is to give back to our communities, and our philanthropic focus is designed to make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
Annual Volunteer Week in May
Every year, hundreds of Nicor Gas employees, their families and friends volunteer in their local communities as part of Nicor Gas’ Volunteer Week. What was once a one-day effort that occurred on the third Saturday of May, now encompasses an entire week of activities to benefit the communities served by Nicor Gas.
Warm Homes, Warm Hearts
Nicor Gas has made a two-year commitment to Habitat for Humanity. During this time, Nicor Gas team members will lend their energy and talents to help build new homes for families in need in coordination with the Fox Valley and DuPage Habitat for Humanity affiliates. In 2018, more than 150 employees will have volunteered 624 hours at 13 Habitat for Humanity builds.
Delivering Holiday Cheer to Children
Around the holidays each year, Nicor Gas employees gather to play games, provide food and donate toys and books to kids in need at Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center in Evanston.
