We salute U.S. military and veterans for their service, and we're proud of our employees who have served in the armed forces. We are committed to hiring and retaining military veterans, veterans with disabilities, and active military personnel; and we provide resources and career guidance when they return to work after active duty.
We are committed to helping our unhoused neighbors. We invest our time, talents, and money to provide housing and supportive services solutions.
Some of the organizations/projects we supported in 2024:
- Habitat LA - Power Women, Power Tools Build Event: SoCalGas volunteers teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles for its 20th annual Power Women, Power Tools event. This event is about women empowerment, building connections, and making a real difference in our community for families in need. Team SoCalGas volunteers helped beautify one of six homes in the City of San Fernando.
- Union Station Homelessness Services - Dinner in the Park: SoCalGas was again the title sponsor for Union Station Homeless Services' 54th annual Dinner in the Park. #TeamSoCalGas helped distribute meal kit boxes, containing a frozen turkey and all the necessary ingredients for community members to prepare a warm Thanksgiving meal. Union Station Homeless Services is dedicated to helping individuals and families rebuild their lives and end homelessness. Their mission is to provide comprehensive services, including shelter, housing, and employment programs, to support people in achieving stability and self-sufficiency.
- 7th Annual Pie Day Pie Off: In celebration of #PiDay, we proudly hosted our 7th Annual Pi Day Pie Off event, dedicated to raising funds for United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ WalkUnitedLA. This fun and festive event brought together SoCalGas employees and the Sempra Foundation, who collectively raised over $55,000 to support efforts to end homelessness and promote economic mobility for families. The event was a resounding success, filled with delicious pies, friendly competition, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact in our community. By coming together for this cause, we demonstrated the power of unity and generosity in creating meaningful change.
- Brotherhood Crusade Thanksgiving Grab and Go Event: #TeamSoCalGas joined the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, UCLA Health, and other organizations to distribute turkeys, gift cards, laptops, Thanksgiving trimmings, and more to the local community at the Brotherhood Crusade Thanksgiving Grab and Go Event. SoCalGas volunteers also helped prepare hundreds of meal bags days before the event.
- United Way of Greater Los Angeles WalkUnitedLA: SoCalGas was the top fundraising and participant team for United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ WalkUnitedLA at SoFi Stadium in May 2024, raising over $147,800 and mobilizing team members both in person and virtually. With SoCalGas’ $25,000 major sponsor grant, United Way was able to raise much-needed funds to support their mission work. This effort helped mobilize Angelenos to raise awareness county-wide, celebrate their achievements, and discuss the work needed to break the cycle of poverty and build communities of prosperity.
Since its inception in 2007, SoCalGas has raised more than $2 million for WalkUnitedLA (formerly HomeWalk), demonstrating a long-standing commitment to supporting the community and driving positive change.
- Community Action Partnership of Orange County - National Family Volunteer Day: Over 100 #TeamSoCalGas volunteers joined Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAP OC) for their Family Volunteer Day. We packed food boxes to help meet the demand for the upcoming holiday season. CAP OC works to end and prevent poverty by stabilizing, sustaining, and empowering people with the resources they need.
- Stamp Out Hunger with Maryam Brown: Over 100 SoCalGas volunteers joined SoCalGas President Maryam Brown to help Stamp Out Hunger during the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)'s 32nd annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive. Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers collect non-perishable food items from residents across the country to donate to local community food banks, pantries, and shelters. SoCalGas volunteers sorted through 80,000 pounds of donated food items, which will help feed 3,280 families in need.
- LA Family Housing - Winter Wonderland: #TeamSoCalGas volunteers sorted and organized toys in preparation for LA Family’s annual Winter Wonderland event. This heartwarming event brought joy to over 400 families, providing them with gifts, delicious food, and festive activities.

Together, we helped create unforgettable memories for families in need, embodying the true spirit of the season.
