We partner with organizations that effect meaningful change in hometowns across America. In 2024, we proudly supported over 200 events in the communities we service, focusing on empowering those in need and fostering stronger connections. 

We have collaborated with incredible organizations to uplift and support the communities our customers and employees call home. These partnerships reflect our commitment to making a positive impact throughout the country.  

Celebrating Community Spirit in the Northeast 

Empowering Local Law Enforcement in New York:

Our team joined forces with the Galway Co-op to support the Fulton County Sheriff’s Project Lifesaver program. This program enhances local law enforcement's ability to locate and assist individuals with cognitive disorders, providing peace of mind to families and much-needed support to vulnerable community members. 

Celebrating Endurance and Teamwork:

We proudly returned as a sponsor of the UP200 Sled Dog Races, an iconic event in Michigan that highlights endurance, teamwork, and the unique beauty of sled dog racing. This beloved tradition brought together participants and spectators to celebrate community spirit. 

A Tradition of Passion and Community:

For Ferrellgas General Manager Doug H., the Copper Dog 150 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is more than a sled dog race. It’s a passion, a community, and a tradition. As a founder and longtime event president, Doug has helped shape this premier event. This year, he stepped in as a judge, continuing his support for the mushing community he loves. “It’s so infectious. You know, a lot of people just love dogs, and the mushing community is a special community that we all love. We really connect with them,” Doug shared. At Ferrellgas, we’re proud to support our employees and the communities they care about. Through sponsorships like this, we celebrate the dedication, camaraderie, and traditions that bring people together. 

Restoring Hope in the Southeast 

Ongoing Hurricane Recovery Support:

When Hurricane Helene struck western North Carolina, Ferrellgas partnered with Operation BBQ Relief to deliver hot meals and critical propane supplies to affected communities. These efforts provided immediate relief during a difficult time. 

Months later, we continued our support by partnering with United Carolinas Cavalry to host an event at Covenant Community Church in Asheville. This event provided 116 free propane tank exchanges, coats, blankets, and heaters, offering comfort and hope to those still recovering. 

Supporting Women and Children in Florida:

We proudly supported the 14th Annual Mary’s Home Luncheon and Fashion Show in Stuart, Florida. Mary’s Home provides housing and support to women and children in need, and this event helped raise vital funds to further their mission of creating lasting change.  

Strengthening Communities Across the Central Region 

Keeping Kids Warm:

Employees in Kansas City, Des Moines, and St. Louis partnered with Operation Warm to distribute hundreds of coats to elementary school kids in October and November 2024. This initiative brought warmth to children in need and reinforced our commitment to supporting local communities. 

Restoring Homes for Families in Indianapolis:

We partnered with Rebuilding Together Indianapolis during their Spring Rebuild Day to help restore homes for families in need. Volunteers came together to create safer, more comfortable living spaces, showcasing the power of community collaboration. 

Fighting Food Insecurity in Colorado:

We partnered with the Rotary Conifer 285 Backpack Project to provide food supplies to children experiencing food insecurity in Conifer Colorado. This program supports children’s education and well-being, helping create brighter futures in their communities. 

Supporting Recovery and Honoring Heroes in the West 

Wildfire Recovery in California:

Ferrellgas supported Operation BBQ Relief in their efforts to provide hot meals to families, first responders, and relief workers impacted by devastating wildfires in Southern California. Every meal shared brought healing and hope to those in need.  

Honoring Defenders and Their Families:

We proudly support the Gary Sinise Foundation in California, which honors our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families. By creating programs that inspire, educate, and strengthen communities, this foundation continues to make a profound impact. 

Supporting Firefighters and Their Families:

Ferrellgas was honored to sponsor the 123rd Annual Bellingham Firefighters Community Ball in Bellingham, Washington. This event supported the Bellingham Whatcom Firefighters Benevolent Foundation, which provides critical financial assistance to firefighters and their families in times of need. Whether helping injured first responders, supporting families facing hardship, or funding essential firefighter safety programs, this foundation plays a vital role in ensuring those who serve their communities are cared for in return. 

These are just a few examples of the ways we’re making a difference. Together, we can create stronger, more resilient communities. Stay connected with us on Facebook to see how we continue making a difference in communities across the country.
