At Summit Natural Gas of Maine, we understand that we are only as strong as the communities we serve. That’s why each year we partner with local charitable organizations, schools, industry groups and our employees to give back to those we serve and their communities with these goals in mind::

Support the betterment of the communities and people we serve, enhance relationships within the communities, and support business development and growth.

Community Partnerships

United Way mobilizes our community in ways that no single agency, individual, or government can enhance the ability of people to care for one another. That’s why Summit Natural Gas partners with the United Way to raise money for charitable organizations throughout our communities. Team members can help by being an advocate, giving, and/or volunteering with the United Way. The company will match employee contributions of up to $5,000 annually to the United Way Campaign.

Sponsorships

Summit Natural Gas of Maine sponsors events throughout the year in the communities we service. Some of those events and sponsorships includes:

• Chambers of Commerce
• Community Events
• Food Banks
• Environmental

Volunteer Time Off (VTO)

To further show our investment in the communities we operate in, we aim to go beyond charitable giving in a monetary form. After all, to be truly dedicated requires not only financial assistance but an investment of time as well. Summit’s volunteer time off (VTO) program is something we consider a perk for both our team members and our communities. VTO allows our team to give back to the local areas we serve, it promotes personal growth, self-esteem, and it’s fun and brings people together!

• VTO reduces stress and makes for a healthier workplace
• VTO unites people from diverse backgrounds to work towards a common goal
• VTO works to strengthen our communities
• VTO encourages civic responsibility

School Safety Presentations

One of our core values as a company is safety. Because of this, Summit Natural Gas of Maine developed a natural gas safety presentation for kids! The presentation is focused on educating 3rd-4th graders on natural gas and how to be safe using it. Core ideas include “call 8-1-1 before you dig”, safety around construction sites, and what to do if you smell gas.
