1,300 employees donated over 9,700 hours of
service throughout the month of November
Employee volunteers from across Exelon’s family of companies
participated in more than 130 service projects in Illinois,
Maryland and Pennsylvania to celebrate #GivingTuesday (December 2).
Approximately 1,300 employees volunteered over 9,700 hours to
projects in November, including sorting and wrapping toys for the
holidays, mentoring students and packaging food for needy families
at organizations in the communities Exelon serves.
#GivingTuesday, a call to action inspired by the retail
industry’s, “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” shopping days,
encourages individuals to give back to their communities through
small acts of kindness during the holiday season. Exelon will match
employee charitable donations of $100 or more dollar-for-dollar and
give an additional $100 to employees’ charities of choice on
#GivingTuesday.
“As the holiday season begins, employees are demonstrating
Exelon’s commitment to giving back by volunteering and donating for
#GivingTuesday,” said Steve Solomon, vice president of corporate
relations at Exelon. “We are proud to support our employees in
their efforts to make a difference in the communities where they
live and work.”
In addition to donating volunteer hours, employees at 38 work
locations in northern Illinois will donate hats, gloves, and other
cold-weather essentials to Warm Up Chicago, a clothing drive
organized by Chicago Cares that collects items for thousands of
seniors, adults and children in the Chicagoland area.
#GivingTuesday volunteer events were attended by employee
volunteers from all of Exelon’s businesses, including ComEd in
northern Illinois, PECO in southeastern Pennsylvania, Constellation
and BGE in central Maryland, and Exelon Generation and Exelon
Business Services Company in all three regions.
