PSEG Long Island Recognizes Employees for Good Samaritan Day – March 13, 2026

(UNIONDALE, N.Y. – March 12, 2026)  PSEG Long Island is celebrating Good Samaritan Day, Friday, March 13, by recognizing the hundreds of company employees who help enhance their communities throughout the year. From January through December, PSEG Long Island’s robust Community Partnership Program connects employees with a variety of opportunities to support their neighbors where they live and work.

In 2025, nearly 900 employees volunteered more than 8,000 hours to help dozens of nonprofit organizations. They participated in fundraising walks and runs, collection drives, distribution programs and other events to support food insecure and unhoused neighbors, assist veterans and seniors, battle against disease and illness, provide mentoring, help preserve the environment, and more. 

“As the most reliable overhead electric service provider in New York State, PSEG Long Island makes communities physically stronger by storm hardening the circuits that serve them, while our employees bolster the bonds of community through their volunteerism and generosity. On Good Samaritan Day — and every day — I am thankful to be surrounded by such dedication to the people we serve.” 

-  Scott Jennings, President & COO, PSEG Long Island

Meghan Chambers of Massapequa, Gary DeFelice of Smithtown, Zach Elkort of New Hyde Park, Karen Mowbray of Patchogue and Danielle Neff of Farmingdale all volunteered at one of several distribution events for veterans held last fall. For Good Samaritan Day, some of these community champions shared what it means to them to support their neighbors.

“My dad was a veteran, so giving back to those who served has always been close to my heart, said Chambers, a senior office support clerk at PSEG Long Island. “Veterans have sacrificed so much for our country and supporting them is one small way to show our appreciation. I am grateful to work for a company that values community and encourages us to give back.”

"Volunteering gives me a real sense of purpose because it allows me to give back to the community we serve every day – especially helping veterans around Thanksgiving,” said DeFelice, a lead customer operations analyst at PSEG Long Island. “It's especially meaningful to work for a company like PSEG Long Island, that truly supports and encourages employees to make a difference beyond the workplace."

“I enjoy giving back to the community and am happy to work for a company that supports its employees in doing so,” said Elkort, an estimator at PSEG Long Island. “My company’s support for local veterans has inspired me to get out and do my part to help them.” 

“I usually volunteer at veterans’ events and it’s always a great experience for me when I get to interact with people in the community,” said Mowbray, PSEG Long Island Measurement Services dispatcher. “Their appreciation is overwhelming, and I leave these events with a warm heart knowing we made their day a little better.”

“I enjoy volunteering as it gives me an opportunity to make a positive impact in my local community – both where I work and reside,” said Neff, PSEG Long Island lead marketing program manager. “I am very grateful that PSEG Long Island provides these opportunities for its employees and encourages us to get involved all year round!”
