With the holiday season right around the corner, families are getting ready to enjoy the company of loved ones, surrounded by delicious food and thoughtful gifts—but for SDG&E employees, there is another exciting annual event to look forward to: the “Season of Giving.”
Each year, employees have the opportunity to earn a grant through the Sempra Energy Foundation for the charity of their choice by volunteering their time during the holidays. Hundreds of SDG&E employees jump at the chance to give back to their communities, forming volunteer teams and organizing activities with more than 40 local non-profits.
Bringing Thanksgiving to our neighbors in need
For many San Diego area families struggling to make ends meet, providing Thanksgiving Dinner and all the trimmings can be a challenge. This week, SDG&E’s Community Relations Team had the opportunity to volunteer with San Diego Refugee Tutoring and provide community members with a Thanksgiving feast they otherwise would not have been able to enjoy.
Visit the SDG&E NewsCenter throughout the holiday season for more on the organizations and employees participating in the 2016 Season of Giving.
