PSEG LI Women Employees Help Renovate Home

More than 40 PSEG Long Island women employees helped Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk County renovate a property as party of Habitat's 12th annual National Women Build Week.

The group included Sayville resident Maria Dey.

According to PSEG LI, the Women Build program provides a female-friendly opportunity that empowers women to take leadership roles and learn new skills while building a home with/for a family in need. Women Build is supported by diverse groups of women who join together to raise funds and build.

“PSEG Long Island is excited to represent some of the nearly 300 women on Long Island who volunteered this year,” said Brigitte Wynn, director of revenue operations and executive sponsor of PSEG Long Island’s Women’s Network. “We are committed to working with and supporting the communities in which we serve. This was a great opportunity for women of all skill levels to come together to help a family build a stable place they can call home and have a positive impact on generations to come.”

“National Women Build Week is an opportunity for the women of Suffolk County to come together to work and learn vital home building and maintenance skills, while helping to improve the lives of other families and the communities of Long Island,” said Les Scheinfeld, director of development, Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk County. “We are so grateful for these dedicated volunteers who are giving their time and talents to make Habitat Suffolk a continued success.”

Since 2014, PSEG Long Island’s Community Partnership Program and Women’s Network have supported many builds and the National Women Build Week.
