Loving Our Community

HOLA (Hispanic Organization for Latino Achievement) Assembles over 1,000 Sandwiches

Elizabethtown Gas employees from HOLA (Hispanic Organization for Latino Achievement) proudly volunteered at the 12th Annual “Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation” Sandwich Drive, hosted by St. Joseph Social Service Center in partnership with Assemblywoman Annette Quijano.

This event supports individuals and families facing food insecurity and homelessness in Greater Elizabeth, NJ. Since 1983, St. Joseph’s has provided essential services including food, clothing, medications, and more to those in need.

Volunteers assembled over 1,000 sandwiches and toured the food pantry to learn more about the center’s mission and operations. We’re grateful to all employees who gave their time to make a meaningful difference in the community.

First Responders Grant Program

Each year, Elizabethtown Gas supports safety training and lifesaving efforts conducted by local fire, police and EMS first responders. These grants are used by first responders to support necessary purchases including combustible gas detectors, turn out gear, fire hoses, medical supplies and other equipment.

"Game On" Grant Program

For over ten years, the Game On Grant Program has provided support to sustain local, community-centered youth sports programs (leagues, clubs, and recreational organizations) in the Elizabethtown Gas service area. We’re proud to partner with these organizations and support them in their missions to provide safe, fun activities for kids in our region.

VETS Food Drive for the Red Cross Service to Armed Forces

In partnership with the Red Cross, SJI’s Veterans Engagement Team (VETS) collects thousands of pounds of food during their food drive by setting up collection points throughout New Jersey. VETS encourages customers, employees and families from Elizabethtown Gas to drop off non-perishable items. Volunteers then deliver several truckloads of food to the Red Cross for distribution.

VETS is an employee resource group at SJI that supports the personal growth and professional development of former servicemen and women. The Red Cross Service to Armed Forces program provides home comforts and critical services on bases, in military hospitals and supports military families during deployments and emergencies.

American Heart Association Walk

The American Heart Association’s (AHA) Heart Walk is an annual fundraising event to support heart disease and stroke research. In 2026, approximately 100 employees participated in the annual Spring Heart Walk. SJI ERGs and employees helped contribute to the 2026 Southern New Jersey Heart Walk, raising $34,000 for the American Heart Association.

Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Community starts at home, and we are committed to serving and making a difference in the lives of our customers, employees, and members of the communities we serve.
