“Through the CenterPoint Energy Foundation’s contributions to local nonprofit organizations, we continue to provide relief to communities in our Louisiana natural gas footprint, many of whom are still struggling to recover and rebuild from the devastation of Hurricane Laura. Our thoughts are with CenterPoint Energy’s employees and customers who were directly affected,” said Alicia Dixon, Director of Community Relations. “The safety and well-being of our employees, customers and communities impacted by Hurricanes Delta and Laura remain our top priorities.”
These contributions are in addition to the $350,000 commitment made by the CenterPoint Energy Foundation to local nonprofit organizations and impacted colleagues to aid in relief and recovery from Hurricane Laura.
