Peoples, an Essential Utilities (NYSE:WTRG) company, brings
together one-of-a-kind artisans from around the world at the 12th
annual Peoples Gas Holiday Market™. Organized by the Pittsburgh
Downtown Partnership, this year’s edition hosts more vendors than
ever before, offering holiday gifts, sweet treats, and live
entertainment on select dates. As a new Holiday Market exclusive,
shoppers can receive a limited-edition souvenir ornament from
Peoples when donating to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food
Bank. Peoples is a longtime supporter of the Food Bank, helping
them become the primary non-profit partner of the Peoples Gas
Holiday Market. In addition to offering the limited-edition
ornament as a thank-you to those who give to the Food Bank during
their Holiday Market visit, Peoples matched the first $5,000 raised
to help fight food insecurity in the Pittsburgh area. The Peoples
Gas Holiday Market is open every day until Christmas Eve – find

“The Holiday Market would not be possible without Peoples’
generous support,” said Jeremy Waldrup, Pittsburgh Downtown
Partnership President. “The market has become a must-visit
tradition, boosting small businesses and our local economy while
making Downtown Pittsburgh a festive and fun place to be during the
holidays.”
Peoples’ presence is felt in the big city and small towns, too.
The company was the presenting sponsor of the annual Butler Spirit
of Christmas Parade for the 12th straight year, with 100+ Peoples
active and retired employees and their families marching in the
57th annual parade. In addition to serving as a major economic
driver for Butler County, the parade serves as a team-building
opportunity for Peoples employees. Dozens of active and retired
employees teamed up throughout the fall to build the “Christmas on
the Farm” float, one of roughly 80 unique displays in the parade,
one of the largest turnouts in the parade’s history.
“By supporting events like the Butler Parade and Etna Borough’s
Light Up Night, we reinforce our commitment to every community we
serve,” said Julia Homa, Peoples Community Affairs and Corporate
Giving Specialist. “Our company and our team aren’t just providing
Western Pennsylvania with safe and reliable natural gas. We live
here, work here, and are committed to being a community leader in
everything we do.”
The Peoples blue flame logo and employees giving back can be
found many other places throughout the holiday season. Dozens of
employees gave time and donations during Essential Utilities’ Fall
For Food Banks and United Way campaigns, this fall, in addition to
supporting the YMCA’s Turkey Trot race on Thanksgiving Day, the
Salvation Army’s Project Bundle Up, and more. For more information
