Uniting with Sharing House to Support Local Efforts Combating Hunger and Poverty

Suburban Propane partnered with Sharing House, a non-profit organization in Brevard, North Carolina, for a local volunteering initiative to combat hunger and poverty affecting residents in the region. Sharing House and its volunteers have been connecting with community members for over four decades to deliver crisis assistance and develop lasting solutions to alleviate hunger and poverty.

Sharing House provides essential services such as rent and utility assistance, supplying food, gently used clothing and household goods, and more to those who need it most. Their work is critical, as nearly half of the county’s residents struggle with unaffordable rent, and more than a quarter are considered low-income. Sharing House’s mission offers pathways out of poverty, providing support and resources that empower individuals and families to achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

Community-based volunteerism is a powerful force for good and Suburban Propane recognizes the value of serving its local neighborhoods and residents in need. Through its philanthropic pillar SuburbanCares, the Company and it’s employees are dedicated to making a positive impact in the areas where it operates.

Recently local employees from Suburban Propane’s Customer Service Center contributed time and energy to volunteer at Sharing House. The Company’s employees helped sort and organize donations, cleaned and organized storage areas, and performed light landscaping for the non-profit. Furthermore, Suburban Propane made a monetary donation to Sharing House’s emergency heating assistance program, which supports close to 1,000 low-income households during the winter, further impacting the community in a direct and meaningful way.

By collaborating with non-profits like Sharing House, Suburban Propane and its employees actively address immediate community needs while supporting long-term solutions that create lasting benefits for those who need them most.
