ComEd Employees to Volunteer Time, Reduce
Costs for Area Service Agencies
Community service organizations saved an estimated $270,000 as a
result of the 280 work weeks (11,200 hours) volunteered by ComEd
employees in 2013. Equivalent to five and a half years of full-time
service, these volunteer efforts offer nonprofit partners the
opportunity to reinvest resources and better serve communities
throughout Northern Illinois.
ComEd will continue its commitment to service by leading more
than 30 volunteer events to plant trees, clean up parks, mentor
students, build homes and fill food pantry shelves in observance of
National Volunteer Week, beginning April 8.
“ComEd is a purpose-driven company,” said Anne Pramaggiore,
president and CEO, ComEd. “Service is a part of our DNA, it’s what
drives us. For decades, ComEd has supported education,
environmental stewardship and community-building efforts throughout
the region. Everything we do is aimed at building a stronger, more
sustainable future.”
National Volunteer Week is an annual, nationwide movement that
encourages individuals and organizations to improve communities
through volunteer service. Now in its eighth consecutive year,
ComEd employees will organize community service projects during
National Volunteer Week and throughout the month of April.
ComEd and its parent company Exelon recognize National Volunteer
Week by empowering employee volunteers to design their service
projects and recruit others to participate. ComEd employees, family
members and friends are expected to provide more than 2,100 hours
of volunteer service throughout more than 30 service projects.
Inclusive of ComEd’s efforts, Exelon will host more than 150
volunteer events, in observance of National Volunteer Month.
In addition to ComEd, National Volunteer Week will include
employee-led service projects from all of Exelon’s businesses,
including: PECO in southeastern Pennsylvania, Constellation and BGE
in Maryland, and Exelon Generation and Exelon Business Services
Company in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Texas.
