"Through the Power of One campaign, our employees and parent company, PPL, have come together to contribute more than $232,000 to support nonprofit organizations and Rhode Islanders this winter. Whether it's through our partnership with United Way of Rhode Island, the launch of our new Operation Help fund, or the hundreds of volunteer hours our team has given, this effort reflects the heart of who we are, neighbors helping neighbors."

Building upon the company-wide Day of Caring , where RIE employees donated over 280 volunteer hours to local organizations, RIE employees have doubled down on their commitment to their friends and neighbors across the state, funding over $116,000 in donations to various nonprofit organizations.
