2025 Community Outreach: Supporting Local Teams, Charities, and More

The year 2025 was defined by the commitment of Ferrellgas employee-owners to the communities we serve. Across the country, they engaged with local schools, charities, and events, showing their dedication whenever a need arose. This year's investment in our communities through sponsorships, donations, and volunteer efforts reflects our belief in strengthening the places we call home. This is the spirit behind the Ferrellgas Century Project, brought to life through the everyday work our teams do in the towns they serve.

Supporting Alzheimer's Research in Wisconsin

In Stevens Point, Wisconsin, our team supported the Walk to End Alzheimer's. More than $27,000 was raised to support the Alzheimer's Association and its work in research and caregiver support, helping bring resources and hope to those impacted by this illness.

Bringing New Coats to Kids with Operation Warm in Indiana

A Community Effort After the Arizona Floods

Flooding hit Globe, Arizona, leaving homes, propane tanks, and equipment scattered in its wake. Our employee-owners and several propane partners worked side by side to recover equipment and help families navigate the first days of cleanup. As Service Technician Aaron K. put it, "It was good to see people come together and help them in their time of need." The effort did not fix everything, but it eased the earliest steps toward recovery.

Our employee-owners worked alongside fellow propane companies throughout Texas, stepping in quickly to respond to flooding. Together, we supported recovery efforts for affected families and businesses, showing the strength of collaboration and community spirit in helping neighbors recover during challenging times.

In Cave City, Arkansas, Operation BBQ Relief served over 4,000 hot meals to communities affected by recent tornadoes. We're proud to be their propane sponsor, supporting their efforts nationwide to bring comfort and nourishment to those impacted by natural disasters. It's an honor to contribute to a mission that delivers relief when it's needed most.

Longstanding Support of the DADS Golf Tournament in Missouri

We are proud to stand behind the Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome annual golf tournament in Eureka, Missouri. This is a partnership we have supported for seven years, and the 2025 event raised $10,000 for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis. Those funds will strengthen essential programs like job readiness, caregiver support, and new-parent resources that make an everyday difference for individuals with Down syndrome.

Fundraising for Breast Cancer Research in Alabama

Supporting Food Banks Nationwide

Throughout the holiday season, Ferrellgas employee-owners across the country came together to support food banks and community organizations serving their neighbors, dedicating more than $10,000 to those in need. Across more than 10 states, our teams delivered nonperishable goods, hygiene items, and other essentials to help ease the strain many families feel during the holiday season. We're grateful for the local partners who work tirelessly year-round and honored to support the vital work they do.

Advocating for Survivors in Wisconsin
