IBEW Local 1289 Members Collect Donations for Fulfill Food Bank

Members of IBEW Local 1289, representing workers who power JCP&L’s electric system, local municipal electric departments, and several regional generating plants, recently came together to support families facing food insecurity in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Through cash, online contributions, and gift cards, members raised $1,717 and collected 251 pounds of non-perishable food for Fulfill, the area’s food bank.

The donation drive was organized entirely by union members. “Our members take pride in powering this state, but we take just as much pride in taking care of our neighbors,” said Jeff Munyan, President and Business Manager of IBEW Local 1289. He also recognized Assistant Business Manager Sandy D’Alessio for leading the effort.

Fulfill continues to face high demand, and contributions from groups like IBEW Local 1289 help ensure essential support reaches local families. The union regularly participates in community initiatives throughout New Jersey, reflecting its strong commitment to service.
