<p>In addition to the Reliant Gives program, Reliant supports local communities through volunteerism, charitable giving and partnerships with a variety of organizations. In 2017 our employees served over 7,000 volunteer hours and we donated more than $4 million to community programs across Texas. Watch the #TexasStrong video to learn more about our efforts in 2017.</p>
<p>"We designed the Reliant Gives program as a way to empower employees and communities to help support organizations that are making a difference. Along the way, we realized we created a platform that allowed anyone from anywhere to get involved with communities across Texas with just one click. Congratulations to all of our heroes – the nonprofits, the employees and everyone who votes." – Elizabeth Killinger, President of Reliant and NRG Retail</p>
