Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is kicking off the
season of giving by partnering with nonprofit groups to give back
to the customers and communities it is privileged to serve in
Northern and Central California.
As part of the company’s new Weeks of Giving coworker campaign,
PG&E’s five Regional Vice Presidents are hosting several
in-person or virtual volunteer events supporting local
community-based organizations throughout PG&E’s service area.
In-person events will follow COVID-19 safety protocols.
“My coworkers and I are delighted and eager to serve in ways
that are meaningful to our communities, especially during the
holiday season for those most vulnerable,” said PG&E Executive
Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Marlene Santos.
PG&E coworkers are volunteering in the company’s five
regions, including at the following events:
- Nov. 15: Bike Building benefitting the Boys and Girls
Club of Eureka
- Nov. 16: Assembling Art Therapy Kits benefitting
Community Bridges in Watsonville and helping youth in the San
Lorenzo area
- Nov. 17: Assembling Senior Care Packages and holiday
ornaments. The kits will be donated to seniors struggling with
isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic through Choice in Aging in
Pleasant Hill.
- Nov. 19: Painting and Landscaping at the Point San Luis
Lighthouse near San Luis Obispo
- Dec. 6-7: Event prep for Wender Weis Foundation for Children
Holiday Heroes at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Volunteers will
help transform the stadium into a holiday wonderland. The event
connects families and at-risk youth with professional athletes to
help kids build self-esteem and self-confidence. Event takes place
Dec. 7.
Weeks of Giving
Leading up to Giving Tuesday, Nov. 30, a global day of action
designed to kick-start the giving season with small acts of
kindness, and continuing through the holidays, PG&E is
encouraging and supporting its coworkers to volunteer and
contribute to causes and issues that are meaningful to them.
PG&E’s Weeks of Giving is part of its year-round coworker
and retiree workplace giving program, Campaign for the Community,
which raises money for qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations and
eligible schools. Through the 20-year workplace charitable giving
campaign, coworkers and retirees have contributed $100 million in
support of communities.
In 2020 and continuing this year, the company’s volunteer
programs were limited by COVID-19 health and safety restrictions.
Despite these challenges, more than 700 PG&E coworkers
volunteered in a range of virtual volunteering opportunities,
including creating comfort kits and other supplies serving 16
community organizations across Northern and Central California.
