"Our co-workers have risen to the occasion by safely and continuously providing the natural gas and electricity our customers rely on every day. And they haven't stopped there. Our voluntary AmerenCares Power of Giving co-worker campaign raised over US$800,000 to help many people impacted by the pandemic in our communities. Their dedication to each other and to the communities we serve once again demonstrates why Ameren is such a great place to work."
