ACUA employees came in second in charitable donations behind Rutgers University, a much larger institution.
Atlantic County Utilities Authority employees recently were recognized for their generous donations.
Pledges through the New Jersey Employees Charitable Campaign totaled $55,884 -- the second highest amount contributed in the state. Rutgers University was first.
“It’s incredible that with just over 300 employees, ACUA is recognized as the second-largest donor in the state,” ACUA President Matthew DeNafo said. “. This achievement reflects the commitment and compassion of our team. Our employees dedicate themselves to serving the community through their work, and they go above and beyond by choosing to support others in need through their contributions.”
The NJECC provides state and local municipal employees the opportunity to contribute to a multitude of charities through the convenience of payroll deduction.
This year is the eighth consecutive year ACUA has participated in the program.
