Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. volunteers donated time and funding to serve breakfast to U.S. veterans at Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard in Pittsburgh on Monday Oct. 17. Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard was founded in 1996 with the mission to empower veterans’ transition from homeless to home, ending the cycle of homelessness, and to assist all at-risk veterans to become engaged, valuable citizens who contribute to their communities.
Volunteers from local Suburban Propane customer service centers were on-hand to assist the Veterans Place staff in serving a special Monday morning breakfast to residents and veterans visiting the organization’s resource center. Suburban Propane staff also provided the Veterans Place team with informational assets about the company’s “Heroes Hired Here” program, which provides job training and assistance to military veterans seeking full-time positions with the company.

“Veterans have always held a special place in the heart of Suburban Propane, especially when it comes to our community outreach and hiring efforts,” said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson, Suburban Propane. “We’re honored to work alongside the dedicated staff at Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard to serve breakfast, which is one of many ways we express our sincerest thanks to the heroes that serve our country.”
Additionally, Suburban Propane welcomed Joseph Costanzo, who represented State Senator Jay Costa’s office, and volunteered time out of his busy schedule to meet with the local veterans.
The partnership is part of the Company’s SuburbanCares initiative which is dedicated to supporting community efforts across the U.S.
