Diversified Energy Company, a natural gas production company headquartered in Birmingham, and its employees donated a total of $51,900 for the Toys for Tots program.
The company announced the donation during an event Friday where it also turned over toys that were collected for the program.
"Diversified employees take great pride in the communities where we work and raise our families, and this support for Toys for Tots is a small way we can help give back this holiday season,” said Rusty Huston, Jr., Diversified Energy CEO. “Toys for Tots and our local Marines help provide joy to children across the country, and we thank them for their generous work.”

The company said the money raised through direct employee contributions and company giving will support the broader Toys for Tots program in Diversified’s ten-state operating area, with toys also being distributed locally across that footprint.
During the event at the company's headquarters, employees and leadership were joined by Jefferson County Toys for Tots coordinator Sgt. Frankie Toledo and local Marines to present the toy donations and contribution.
