WHIPPANY, N.J. (April 5, 2022) — Suburban Propane Partners L.P. collaborated with the Guy Fieri Foundation to prep, cook and serve over 1,200 meals for New Jersey's veteran community.
Volunteers from Suburban Propane, including President & CEO Michael Stivala, were joined by Guy Fieri and The Guy Fieri Foundation to show appreciation for and to provide handmade meals to veterans on-site, as well as to veterans living in shelters throughout the state. This effort took place on April 1 at VFW Post 2179 in Port Monmouth, New Jersey and on April 2 at VFW Post 2290 in Manville, New Jersey.
In addition to volunteers from Suburban Propane and The Guy Fieri Foundation, New Jersey's First Lady Tammy Murphy stopped by to lend a helping hand.
