WHIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Suburban Propane Partners,
L.P. (NYSE: SPH), 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
united with Baltimore Hunger Project, a Timonium, Maryland-based nonprofit, to sponsor
and assemble weekend food packages for students in the greater
Baltimore region facing food
insecurity. The donation is part of the Company's
SuburbanCares® community-giving platform.
"Suburban Propane is honored to assist Baltimore Hunger Project
in its critical mission to provide students with weekend meals,"
said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson,
Suburban Propane. "As a 95-year-old company with a footprint across
42 states, we understand the importance of taking care of those in
our local communities and know that without the work of critical
non-profits like the Baltimore Hunger Project, many area kids would
go hungry."
Suburban Propane's donation provided more than 800 meal
packages. Each take-home package includes proteins, vegetables,
fruits and even utensils to help students over the weekend period
when they don't have access to school meals.
"Unfortunately, food insecurity continues to rise across the
country and here in the greater Baltimore area we've experienced a 30 percent
increase over last year," said Lynne
Kahn, Executive Director, Baltimore Hunger Project. "We will
feed an estimated 2,500 students in the city and county each week
in more than 50 different schools. We rely on the generosity and
support of area businesses and appreciate Suburban Propane's
donation and time to help feed our local kids."
"It is great to see Suburban Propane and Baltimore Hunger
Project team up to assemble food packages that will be distributed
to children in need. Their collaboration demonstrates the positive
impact of communities coming together to help serve the greater
good," said Maryland State Senator
Shelly Hettleman.
