United Way of the Piedmont, Walmart and Exel Logistics were presented the Duke Energy Citizenship & Community Service Award at the 2010 Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting. The three organizations were recognized for their contributions to the establishment of the United Way Gifts in Kind Center. Over 100 local nonprofit agencies are members of the GIK Center, which receives returned product from Walmart stores through Exel Logistics. 

Thank you to Duke Energy and the Chamber of Commerce for this wonderful recognition! And a big "thank you" to Walmart and Exel Logistics for making this gift to our community a reality!
