If you've been following our playground project with Atlantic City Electric, Paulsboro Borough, and KABOOM!, please see the video to learn more! Thank you to all of the partners, volunteers, sponsors, and the Paulsboro community for coming together to make this project a reality.
As April's #VolunteerMonth comes to a close, we're reflecting on the incredible work by more than 100 volunteers from Atlantic City Electric, IBEW Local 210, KABOOM!, Gateway Community Action Partnership, and the Borough of Paulsboro during our Build Day event. We came together to create a playground for West Buck Street Park by pouring concrete, assembling equipment, painting murals, and shoveling mulch. In just six hours, we turned a vacant lot into an exciting playground that residents will enjoy for generations to come. See how we’re sparking joy for the children of Paulsboro here: http://spr.ly/6049jJrfD #MoreThanEnergy
