Southern California Edison Gives Back

In May, volunteers from Southern California Edison’s Business Process Team visited the Giving Children Hope facilities for their corporate service project.

The team brought with them 18 boxes of food items collected at the Long Beach and Rancho Cucamonga call centers to donate toward the local We’ve Got Your Back program to help provide meals every weekend for homeless children in Orange County.

SCE’s donation, which the team helped sort during their visit, was able to fill 36 backpacks – providing 36 families with food for the weekend!

In addition to assisting with We’ve Got Your Back, the SCE team also helped to sort medical supplies for upcoming shipments to communities in need around the world.

Team members report on their experiences in the Southern California Edison’s May edition of their newsletter:

“It was a lot of hard work, rewarding and fun at the same time!” – Analyst Dara Green.

“A kind gesture lasts a lifetime” – DA analyst Sharletta Stitt.

“I feel fortunate to work for a company that values people. We didn’t just spend a day there to make ourselves feel good, but we helped to save lives. You cannot put a price on that.” – Communications specialist Robert Boyd.

“It was an eye opener and I felt great knowing we were saving lives by sorting medical supplies.” – Communications Support Pool, Ernie Sanchez.

A Big thank you to the Southern California Edison Business Process Team for generously volunteering your time and the wonderful contributions made to GCHope!
