Eastern Propane & Oil Fueling Easterseals NH Veterans Count
The energy provider donated more than $29,000 to Veterans Count.

Press release from Easterseals NH:
As we prepare to show our respect and appreciation for all who have served this great nation on November 11, Eastern Propane & Oil donated $29,422.59 to Veterans Count. This donation is the result of Eastern’s donation of one penny for every gallon of propane that was delivered by its five Veterans Count branded delivery trucks during their last fiscal year.
“As we celebrate ninety years in business, we also reflect on the support we are able to offer the communities that we serve,” said Chuck Clement IV, Chief Technology Officer at Eastern Propane & Oil. “Our penny-per-gallon program supporting Veterans Count is a program Eastern is extremely proud of. The work that Veterans Count does to not only support veterans, but also their families is truly extraordinary. We would not be able to make this donation without the support and loyalty of our customers, many of which are veterans themselves, and for that we are truly grateful.”
