With that in mind, I was pleased to read that Employees at PPG Industries’ Natrium, W.Va., and Lake Charles, La., chemicals manufacturing complexes helped to obtain $105,612 in grants through the PPG Industries Foundation.The grants will go to public schools and local nonprofit organizations where employees either have an interest (probably a student enrolled in the school) or where the employees volunteered in 2010. The grants were obtained through the Grant Incentives for Volunteerism by PPG Employees and Retirees (GIVE) and the Public Education Leadership Community (PELC) grant employee programs of the foundation.Recipient organizations include local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts troops, school groups, community athletics associations, 4-H clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and firefighters’ organizations.
