At Atlantic City Electric, we believe in giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Through our volunteer program, Atlantic City Electric employees lend their time and passion supporting local organizations, community events, and volunteer initiatives. Our volunteer program engages employees from all parts of the company and recognizes the importance of their efforts in building relationships with our customers and communities to make a positive and lasting impact. Each year, hundreds of Atlantic City Electric employees volunteer thousands of hours supporting initiatives that make our communities better places to live and work.
Each year, employee volunteers, their families, and friends walk for several important area organizations including the American Heart Association, March of Dimes, ALS Association, Alzheimer's Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and many more!
Each year, Atlantic City Electric celebrates the month of October by raising awareness and fund for the American Cancer Society. Fundraisers include Pink Lemonade Stands, a Wall of Hope, and PINK Party! Employees, joined by family and friends, participate in the Making Strides Walk in Ocean City, where Atlantic City Electric is the annual Boardwalk sponsor.
Many of the towns in our service territory are along the coast. Clean beaches contribute to a cleaner environment and the economic vitality of our entire South Jersey region. In both the spring and fall, we participate in Clean Ocean Action's Annual Beach Sweeps. Volunteers not only clean the beaches, they record the quantity and types of debris found for data that is published annually to help identify pollution sources and aid legislators in enacting protections.

Our employees love to visit Laurie and all the animals at The Funny Farm Rescue. Located in our service territory, the sanctuary is dedicated to caring for abused and abandoned animals.

Atlantic City Employees volunteer regularly at the farm providing cage maintenance, general landscape care, and animal interaction.
