Georgia Power employees from Plant Wansley are continuing to serve their local schools near the plant as a new academic year begins.

This past weekend, the local Citizens of Georgia Power employee volunteer group completed a landscaping project at Arnco-Sargent Elementary School in Newnan. As part of the project, volunteers planted flowers, mulched, and potted new plants for the school’s 9/11 Memorial Garden.

With more than 40 chapters statewide, Citizens of Georgia Power - the employee volunteer arm of the company – gives back to their local communities through in-person and virtual volunteer projects, fundraisers, and donations. In 2020, Citizens’ members logged more than 55,000 hours of service equal to $1.5 million.
