Employees of the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) are invested in
bettering the communities they live and serve. Most recently, it was announced
that their pledges through the New Jersey Employees Charitable Campaign (NJECC)
were the second largest in the state, behind only the large institution of
Rutgers University. This year, employees raised $57,908 for their
charities of choice.
“As
an organization with less than 250 employees, this is a testament to the
generosity of our remarkable team,” said President Rick Dovey. “Our employees
are proud to serve our communities every day through their work, and their
personal donations speak volumes to the type of workforce we are thankful to
employ.”
Every
year, ACUA employees from across all departments are invited to participate in
the NJECC, which allows state and local municipal employees to contribute to a
variety of charities through payroll deduction.
The
NJECC is among the many charitable causes ACUA employees champion each year.
The news of their successful campaign comes off the heels of a recent visit to
the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Southern Branch, where employees helped
to organize donations.
