PSEG Long Island Employees Make Donations to Three Local Community Organizations

(UNIONDALE, NY – Jan. 21, 2022) – PSEG Long Island employees recently provided three community organizations with $1,000 donations each. Donations were given to The Viscardi Center in Albertson, Canine Companions in Medford and the Association for Mental Health and Wellness of Suffolk County in Ronkonkoma.

The Viscardi Center donation will fund the center’s Abilities, Inc. program, which prepares adolescents and adults with varying degrees of disabilities for entry or re-entry into the workforce. The program also provides students with assistance in securing pre-employment services and finding employment.

Canine Companions will apply the funds toward providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support, free of charge, to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

The Association for Mental Health and Wellness of Suffolk County provides programs and services for people facing mental illness and mental health issues, and offers support for their families and caregivers. The funds will help promote their available resources to the public.

Along with providing safe, reliable power, community service is an important part of PSEG Long Island’s culture. Employees demonstrate compassion and support for their neighbors through many community service projects and activities throughout the year. While hands-on community service has been paused due to the coronavirus pandemic, employees have found innovative ways to support the causes and organizations they care about. These donations are just a few examples of the causes PSEG Long Island supports.
