Southwest Gas announced the donation of 20 water heaters to Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada, a nonprofit organization that provides critical home repairs to low-income seniors, veterans and individuals with disabilities.

The donation marked the delivery of more than 80 water heaters from the energy provider since 2016.

With the most recent donation, Southwest Gas employees have volunteered in RTSNV National Rebuilding Day for many years, and the company has contributed over $140,000 from the Southwest Gas Foundation and FUEL for LIFE employee giving program.

“Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada is approaching its 30th year of committed efforts aimed at preserving affordable homeownership through critical home repairs,” said Bob Cleveland, CEO of Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada.
