Greener Together: Suburban Propane Marks 5th Annual Earth Month with Nationwide Volunteer Effort

From coast to coast, Suburban Propane employees, along with their families and friends – came together once again to celebrate our fifth annual Earth Month. Through local volunteer events, we demonstrated  our commitment to the community and our dedication to sustainability.

As part of our Go Green with Suburban Propane initiative, April is more than just the start of spring – it’s a powerful blend of National Volunteer Month and Earth Day. During this time, our Customer Service Centers throughout the country give back to their community through volunteer events focused on environmental stewardship and beautifying public spaces.

This year, over 60 employees, including people close to them, volunteered this year in activities like litter cleanup, park restoration, and garden preparation. Whether removing graffiti or planting trees, these dedicated volunteers demonstrate how Suburban Propane contributes to a cleaner, brighter future.
