Power to Feed Long Island
Many of our neighbors continue to face food insecurity — particularly during summer when donations to food banks decrease and daily meals stop for thousands of children who depend on them. You can help! For the sixth year, PSEG Long Island is partnering with Island Harvest as part of our Power to Feed Long Island campaign.
This initiative has collected more than 150,000 meals for Long Island families thanks to the generosity of our customers.
From June through September, collection drives will be set up at eight Stop & Shop supermarkets across Long Island, where you can donate non-perishable food and essential care items. See dates and locations below.
Together, we're collecting...
