Farmingdale Residents Help LI Children's Holiday Wishes Come True

FARMINGDALE, NY — The holiday season will be a little merrier this year for more than 100 Long Island children thanks to the generosity of hundreds of PSEG Long Island employees. More than 300 employees joined together and took on the role of "Santa" to buy hundreds of gifts for children enrolled in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, PSEG LI said in a press release. Among them were Diane Finocchio and Suzanne Brienza, both of Farmingdale.

Overall, 125 local children will be waking up Christmas morning to the bikes, tablets, video games, coats, toys, games, dolls, action figures, clothes and sneakers they wished for this year.

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program serves Long Island children from newborn to 16 years old. It relies on the support of individual donors, companies and organizations to fulfill the wish lists of children in families in need. In the past six years, PSEG Long Island employees have fulfilled the holiday wishes of more than 1,000 families who live in the communities it serves.
