South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas, subsidiaries of SJI, recently made charitable contributions totaling $500,000 to New Jersey SHARES for customers who need assistance with their utility bills.
“At SJI, our mission is to deliver safe, reliable, affordable energy to our more than 730,000 customers and businesses in New Jersey,” Melissa Orsen, senior vice president, SJI and President, SJI Utilities said. “We are pleased to partner with NJ SHARES, as they are a strong community resource providing utility assistance to customers who need it the most.”
New Jersey SHARES is a nationally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides statewide help and referral for essential services to those in need of assistance. New Jersey SHARES serves as a “safety net” for households that face an emergency or a crisis situation. These unexpected circumstances may result in the household’s inability to pay for vital services, which include but are not limited to – energy (gas, electric), water, communications and housing resources.
“We are so grateful to South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas for this generous donation! These important funds will help make a difference for struggling New Jersey families around the State,” Cheryl Stowell, CEO of New Jersey SHARES, said.
