The spirit of the holidays is underway at Catholic Charities. Some members of our Staffing team had fun yesterday partnering with Gas Operations to help stock the Catholic Charities food bank in Worcester.
Giving back is always a great way to get into the holiday spirit! Two groups of our volunteers recently spent the day at Gemma Food Center in New London and with Enfield Loaves & Fishes to help the organizations package, sort, and cook food for those in need. In New London, they sorted through more than 700 lbs of produce, meats, and other items that will go to families this holiday season. At Loaves and Fishes, volunteers worked to prepare and serve a Thanksgiving dinner to more than 100 people. Thanks to Gemma Food Center and Loaves and Fishes for having us! Together, we’re in good company.
This week in Lexington, MA we welcomed in thirty students from Minuteman High School for a tour of our substation in the area. John Zicko, a Director of Station Engineering (in photo, right) gave the students a technical overview of how the station’s components help to convert electricity from the transmission system to the distribution network. The group kept us busy with their questions on everything from how it all works – to the best way to get set up for a career in the energy industry. Thanks for coming by!

“I knew from a young age that I wanted to serve this country. I attended the oldest private military college, Norwich University in VT. Upon graduation, I commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army and was stationed at FT Hood Texas. After 2 deployments totaling 27 months, serving as an M1A2SEP ABRAMS PLT LDR and logistics officer, I decided it was time to be a full time dad and husband. The thing about working at Eversource that intrigued me was the amount of time employees stay at the company. While seeking employment, I always said I wanted a career - not a job. Here at Eversource, I’ve not only had the opportunity to successfully lead employees through change, I’ve been able to balance my day-to-day life while still serving the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the National Guard.” - Matthew Weeks, pictured with his two young sons, is a Supervisor of Electric Field Operations working out of our Plymouth Service Center. This Veterans Day and every day, we’re proud to honor and thank the 600+ veterans and active duty military members who work for our company.
We made the right connection when Army veteran, and Greenfield native, Ryan Rudd made Eversource his first choice when he decided to leave the armed forces. He was an Army Chemical Nuclear Specialist for more than a dozen years before joining our company this year. He’s following in his grandfather’s footsteps, training to become a lineworker. During his service, Ryan did two combat tours in Iraq and a security forces detail in Qatar. He says, “I’m the guy with a giant suit and air tank searching for traces of radiation or chemical agents. I was also responsible for teaching soldiers in my battalion how to survive and combat through if there was a nuclear or chemical attack.” This is dangerous duty, and with a wife and two young sons at home he felt it was time to leave the front lines and take on a new challenge close to home by becoming a lineworker. We’re lucky to have him! This coming Veterans Day and every day, we’re proud to honor and thank the 600+ veterans and active duty military members who work for our company, including Ryan.
