On April 25th, representatives from Suburban Propane, Historic Tours of America and Father Joe’s Villages held a donation presentation event at Shelter Island in the Port of San Diego. This donation is made in support of Father Joe’s Villages’ mission to prevent and end homelessness while encouraging children to get outside, play, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, all supported by a cleaner future powered by propane. Historic Tours of America utilizes clean-burning propane for 90% of its fleet, including its San Diego operation and throughout the country.
“We are so honored to be here today in beautiful San Diego alongside our valued partners at Historic Tours of America to make this donation and spread the word about propane’s clean-burning capabilities,” said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson, Suburban Propane. “We hope this new playground will bring joy to the children and families served by Father Joe’s Village for years to come.”
“I thank Suburban Propane and Old Town Trolley for their compassionate support of our Therapeutic Childcare program, which provides critical tools for families and children to break the cycle of homelessness,” said Deacon Jim Vargas, President and CEO of Father Joe’s Villages. “Our longtime partnership with Old Town Trolley has provided countless special experiences for children experiencing homelessness over the years, bringing joy to those who need it most.”
“At Old Town Trolley Tours of San Diego, our business is sharing the history of this amazing city with guests from all over the world. As a nationwide company, it is important that our vehicles run on clean burning propane to protect and preserve our environment and surroundings,” said David Thornton, General Manager, Old Town Trolley and Seal Tours of San Diego. “In partnering with Father Joe’s Villages, we invest in the future of the children of San Diego. These kids are the future leaders, teachers, doctors, and hopefully tour conductors of tomorrow and it is important for us to support their dreams.”
