Special Events
North Shore Gas supports so many events in the communities we serve — we can't list them all. Here are just a few examples.
Readers are Leaders
North Shore Gas is proud to sponsor the WTTW Kids Readers are Leaders Winter Tour, a special program to promote childhood literacy. Readers are Leaders brings free educational and musical performances by WTTW personality Miss Lori, of Miss Lori's CAMPUS, to area locations. The events inspire children ages 3 to 8 to sing along and participate in reading activities. Visit Readers are Leaders for event times, dates, and locations.
Team H.E.A.T. (Home Energy Assistance Together)
Each fall, North Shore Gas employee volunteers weatherize homes of low and fixed income customers to provide energy saving resources and tips that help them reduce and better manage their bills. The company targets a different neighborhood throughout the city of Chicago each year before winter's chill seeps through the cracks of residents' homes. Team H.E.A.T. volunteers install weather stripping around doors, caulk air leaks throughout the home and secure plastic sheeting around windows. Homeowners are also provided with energy efficiency and safety packages that help to further educate residents that energy efficiency practices not only lower their utility costs, but also support the environment.
