With the recent frosty weather, the Magic City Chapter of the Alabama Power Service Organiza on (APSO) sprang into ac on. Members held a coat drive Jan. 7-9 at company headquarters in Birmingham. APSO Associate Director J. Patrick Reed said the frigid winter weather ini ated the pop-up drive. "Many in our communi es are in need of warm clothing to help them in colder months. Magic City APSO can make a difference." APSO is a nonprofit volunteer organiza on comprised of Alabama Power, Southern Nuclear, Southern Linc and Southern Company Services employees and their families. Understanding that philanthropy is more than money, APSO members also give their most precious resource: me. Reed loaded a sport u lity vehicle with hundreds of winter clothing items for people of all ages. APSO donated the items to Jimmie Hale Mission, a Chris an- based nonprofit that provides a homeless shelter for men, women and children. It's during mes of severe weather that community ac on agencies are called on the most. For more than 25 years, the Alabama Business Charitable Trust has partnered with community ac on agencies, other organiza ons and the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to help pay energy bills, conduct weatheriza on projects and support basic human needs. The ABC Trust, which is not funded with ratepayer dollars, also supports nonprofits by providing grants for energy-efficient upgrades and health and human service projects. The Alabama Power Founda on also proudly supports several organiza ons across the state that provide warming sta ons to residents in need. Cold snap spurs Magic City APSO to action By Javacia Harris Bowser Residents in need received warm gear, thanks to Magic City APSO members. 5
