Star Group — Embracing the Power of Giving Back

Giving and volunteering are an integral part of the values of Star Group, a full-service energy provider comprising a range of brands (Petro Home Services, Meenan, Leffler Energy, Griffith Energy Services and more). Team members from all Star Group companies — which specialize in the sale of propane, heating oil, heating and air conditioning products, and other home services — live and work where their customers do. It’s just as important to them to care for, support and give back to local friends and neighbors too. Whether it’s donating time, talent, food or funds, Star Group and its team of employees throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast always take the opportunity to make a positive impact on the communities they serve, live in and work in.

Throughout the year, Star Group team members from all the company’s brands participate in many local community projects, from sponsoring local youth sports teams and events to fundraising, clothing drives, volunteering for many charities, donating heating equipment to veterans or other neighbors in need, and so much more! Star Group is also actively involved with two major national organizations that make an impact in local communities.

Watch this video to see how Star Group is making an impact in local communities.

Habitat for Humanity 
Since 2019, Petro Home Services’ national partnership with Habitat for Humanity has helped communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic facing low-income housing shortages. Throughout the year, Petro team members and other local volunteers from Maine to Maryland join Habitat for Humanity to help build and renovate homes that enable families to achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Petro also donates heating and cooling systems and installation services to home build projects.

Feeding America 
In recent years, the Meenan, Burke Energy, Region Energy Leffer Energy, Hoffman Energy and Wallace Energy Star Group brands have worked with Feeding America, a nonprofit, nationwide organization of 200-plus food banks and over 6,000 agencies that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other community-based agencies. Through partnerships with many local and regional Feeding America Food Banks, Star Group has sponsored farmers’ markets and food drives, where team members volunteer and bring food items to help neighbors in need. 

Serving the Community 
Beyond these organizations, other Star Group brands are actively involved with the United Way, Project Warmth, Autism Speaks, Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, Breast Cancer Awareness, Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and many more regional charitable and community projects throughout the year. 

Jeff Woosnam, Star Group president and CEO, says, “From both a corporate and team member level, participating in these initiatives gives us a chance not just to help and do something good but also meet members of the community we serve face-to-face. Star Group will keep doing its absolute best to give back while helping the communities that we serve move forward.”
