Day of Caring: Helping the communities we serve

More than 300 ODP, LG&E and KU employees volunteered nearly 800 hours with 25 nonprofit organizations across our service territory during the company’s Day of Caring this past fall. Volunteers assisted with painting, building, landscaping, cleaning, serving meals and packing medical supplies.

Day of Caring is part of the company’s annual employee-giving campaign, Power of One, which combines monetary giving and volunteerism in the communities where employees live and work.

Since its launch in 2005, the campaign has raised more than $35 million. Employees report volunteering over 15,000 hours of service in their communities each year. Over the last six years alone, the campaign has raised nearly $2 million annually through employee donations and additional support from the LG&E and KU Foundation.
