On October 17th, Suburban Propane volunteers from local customer service centers donated time and funding to serve breakfast to deserving United States veterans at Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard in Pittsburgh. 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.
The volunteers assisted 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.
