National Grid employee volunteers take pride in showing up in the communities we serve to lend a helping hand. These are the same communities where our employees live and work and it’s part of our Project C initiative.

o celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, our own employee resource group, Asian Leadership Association (ALA), thought of a good way to give back by sponsoring a volunteer event with The Campaign Against Hunger (TCAH) Farm. TCAH has been a leader in the Urban Farming revolution since 2007. Having started with two backyard plots, TCAH now operates two robust youth-led Urban Argo-Educational Centers. Our volunteers worked at the Far Rock Urban Agro-Ecological Center (aka “Far Rock Farm”) on bed preparation, weeding and transplanting seedlings.

We also teamed up with North Brooklyn Angels at Most Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn to help hand out hand out toys, clothes, food, and other items to over 100 expecting families and mothers. We also provided information on our income eligible programs for those customers who may be experiencing hardships in paying their energy bills.
