WHIPPANY, N.J. — Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SPH), a nationwide distributor of propane, renewable propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity and investor in low carbon fuel alternatives, over the past two days, provided a “street party” celebration complete with over 300 donated meals for the children and families of the Brilliant Detroit organization at its Osborn and Central Detroit neighborhood locations.
J&T’s Kitchen and Saffron De Twah catered the meals with pick-up options, while patrons mingled, listened to music and storytelling, and enjoyed dance and cardio from Family Hustle.
