“The EnergyUnited Foundation is committed to supporting and uplifting our communities,” said LaQuisha Parks, vice president of energy services and corporate communications for EnergyUnited. “This community assistance will ensure that families and individuals will receive critical support for shelter, utilities, emergencies and other humane needs.”
