A group of PSEG Long Island’s newest employees and interns, including Shannon Hewlett from Westhampton, right, recently participated in a community service opportunity by helping Island Harvest Food Bank distribute food and supplies to neighbors in need at the Riverhead Library. The volunteers also gave out LED lightbulbs and reusable shopping bags donated by PSEG Long Island, and provided information about the company’s energy efficiency programs and financial services that are available. “It was an absolute pleasure to volunteer and give back,” said Hewlett. “I am grateful to work for a company that prioritizes giving back to the community.” Also volunteering were, from left, Nikolas Mamakos, Daniel Corbett, Dean Gennosa and Mark Zaharis.
