PSEG Interns Help At Island Harvest Food Bank’s Giving Garden
PSEG interns helped tend to a Long Island food bank's garden.
BRENTWOOD, NY — More than three dozen PSEG Long Island interns recently helped give back to Long Island, PSEG announced via press release.
The interns stepped away from their usual work to support the company’s volunteer efforts. The interns joined president and COO Daniel Eichhorn in planting seeds, watering saplings, weeding, mulching and tending Island Harvest Food Bank’s Giving Garden in Brentwood. Last year, Island Harvest’s two dozen gardens produced 600,000 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruits that was distributed to Long Islanders through its food bank.
Before he joined the students in the fields, Eichhorn shared with the summer intern class the
importance of giving back to their community, no matter where they work in the future.

"It is important that our interns experience giving back to the community during their internship
here, because community service is such a big part of who we are at PSEG Long Island," Eichhorn said. "Last year, our employees volunteered more than 26,000 hours, giving back to causes throughout Long Island and the Rockaways."
