Suburban Propane Supporting Clothing Drives, Food Insecurity and Educational Toy Needs for Children Across the Nation Through Their SuburbanCares Brand Pillar

On April 5^th and April 12^th, Suburban Propane teamed up with Tanger Outlets and the Charleston RiverDogs Minor League Baseball Organization, to shop and package clothing, shoes, face masks, plush toys and other essentials for children ages 5-18 for the Lowcountry Orphan Relief, a non-profit organization that provides goods and services to children who have been abused or neglected.

“Through our SuburbanCares corporate pillar, it’s incredibly rewarding to give back to the communities that we serve,” said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson, Suburban Propane. “We’re humbled to partner with Lowcountry Orphan Relief to support these children in need, and grateful to our participating partners who assisted with providing clothing and much needed essentials. We hope this donation helps make a difference for this organization and the community in a meaningful way.”

Suburban Propane, Tanger Outlets, Chris Singleton from the Charleston RiverDogs, local college athletes, and Lowcountry Orphan Relief all participated in the shopping event on April 5^th at Tanger Outlets Old Navy, funded by Suburban Propane. On April 12^th, participating companies gathered together to collect, assemble and package all of the clothing, shoes, face masks, plush toys and essentials at Joe Riley Stadium for pick-up and distribution.

These efforts resulted in the creation of 100 care packs for local children, which helps fulfill the most immediate clothing needs for Lowcountry Orphan Relief.

“We are forever grateful for the support of community partners like Suburban Propane, Tanger Outlets, and the Charleston RiverDogs who are just as passionate about seeing our mission succeed as we are,” said Christina Lope, Lowcountry Orphan Relief’s program director. “Thank you for helping us continue to reach and serve the most vulnerable and deserving children in our local community. We truly couldn’t do it without you!”

Chris Singleton, the RiverDogs’ director of community outreach and former Chicago Cubs baseball player who recently launched a new children’s book called “Your Life Matters,” said, “It continues to be an honor to serve organizations like the Lowcountry Orphan Relief here in Charleston, and we are even more grateful to do so alongside Suburban Propane, Tanger Outlets and our local college baseball players.”

Tammy Cox, Tanger Outlets Charleston, General Manager comments saying, “We are truly excited to partner with Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Suburban Propane, Charleston RiverDogs and local college baseball players on such an impactful community outreach program. Together, we will work to provide care kits with clothing, shoes, comfort items and more for deserving children in our area. In addition to providing a need, we hope that the kit provides a much-needed smile to lift their little hearts.”
