The New England Gas Company employees from the Construction and Maintenance Department recently initiated a toy drive to benefit Citizens for Citizens’ (CFC’s) Operation Christmas.  Rick Enright, Gas Distribution Manager, and Paul Leite, NEGC Chief Steward, UWUA Local 369, organized the effort.  

“These are very difficult economic times and this toy drive was our way of bringing some joy to families in need during this holiday season”, stated Mr. Enright.

On December 15th, Barbara Travis, Director of Operation Christmas, visited the Company’s Anawan Street facility in Fall River to thank the employees and accept the presents.  “New England Gas Company continues to be a big supporter of Operation Christmas.  It is amazing, but the employees have managed to surprise me again this year.
There were so many donations, that a flat bed and dolly had to be used to deliver the gifts!”

New England Gas Company is a supporter of many community charities in the greater Fall River and North Attleboro service areas. Headquartered in Fall River, Massachusetts, it serves over 50,000 residential and commercial customers in Massachusetts.  It is a division of Southern Union Company.
