Members of Georgia Power’s Citizens of Georgia Power-Plant Scherer Chapter recently honored healthcare workers at Monroe County Hospital and U.S. Renal Care Dialysis Center with lunch  for their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“This is a small token of our appreciation for those healthcare professionals working on the frontlines during the pandemic,” said Chris O’Neal, Citizens-Plant Scherer chapter president. “As the coronavirus continues to rise, their commitment to caring for our community is unwavering.”

Providing lunch for healthcare workers was not only to say "thank you" to the heroes working on the frontline, but also a way to support local restaurants that were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lunch was purchased from Georgia Bob’s Barbecue Company in Macon. 

Citizens of Georgia Power is the employee volunteer arm of Georgia Power Company. With 42 chapters statewide and more than 3,400 members, consisting of employees and their spouses, volunteers contributed more than 143,000 hours equal to $3.5 million in 2019.
