Homeless Children to Start New School Year with New Backpacks and School Supplies Donated by Philadelphia Gas Works Employees (PGW)

On Thursday, September 4, PGW employees delivered new backpacks and schools supplies to homeless youth at The Salvation Army Red Shield Family Residence (715 North Broad St., Phila., PA 19123). Supplies were donated by PGW employees as part of an internal PGW campaign to support children and education in Philadelphia. Youth from the Red Shield Family Residence were on hand to meet with PGW employees and accept donated supplies including backpacks, folders, pens, pencils and other items that educators require students to have in the classroom.
