Nicor Volunteer Day

More than 1,000 Nicor Gas employees, family members and friends are expected to take part in the company’s 15th annual Volunteer Day on Saturday, May 21. 

Volunteers of all ages will be contributing to 23 philanthropic projects in 20 communities throughout northern Illinois, participating in activities ranging from outdoor landscape beautification to sorting donations at local food pantries.
