Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a nationwide distributor of propane, renewable propane, renewable natural gas, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity and investor in low carbon fuel alternatives, today collaborated with Operation Adopt A Soldier (OAAS) to assemble care packages for local troops serving overseas.
More than 500 packages were created, which included letters written by Suburban Propane employees from across the region, snacks, games and other necessities that will serve as a reminder of home and a symbol of gratitude for their service. In addition to the packing event, Suburban Propane Customer Service Centers in Fort Edward, Chestertown, and Ticonderoga have collected items since March to increase local donations to Operation Adopt A Soldier for this event.
“As a veteran employer, Suburban Propane is honored to join Operation Adopt A Soldier in their mission to support our troops, who selflessly serve this country every day to protect our freedoms,” said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson, Suburban Propane. “As a 95 year old company with a footprint across 42 states, we understand the importance of organizations such as OAAS, which, thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers, is doing the work necessary to ensure our servicemen and women are never forgotten.”
“Operation Adopt A Soldier is an all-volunteer, not for profit 501c3 organization with a goal to raise and maintain awareness to the American people of the day to day sacrifices our military men and women and their families make to protect our freedoms,” said Cliff Seguin, Founder and Chairman, Operation Adopt A Soldier. “In 2023, we mailed over 6,300 boxes to our troops and are so grateful to Suburban Propane for their support so that we can be as successful this year.”
