Sponsorships
Chesapeake cares about each community we serve; not only where we work, but also the places we call home. Below you will find a number of resources designed to help spread information about local events and organizations that positively affect each of our communities.
Chesapeake SHARING Fund
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation created the SHARING fund with donations provided by customers, employees, and our Company to ensure that the elderly, ill and those facing financial hardship are not forgotten during the cold winter months when energy bills are at their peak. Learn more at www.chesapeakesharing.com.
Chesapeake Volunteers
Our employees generously volunteer their time and energy to give back to their communities. Each year, Chesapeake employees help clean up local highways; collect food, clothing and supplies to donate to local agencies; adopt families for the holidays; and participate in numerous fundraising 5K runs and walks.
Speaking to Schools
Safety is a top priority for our Company, and our employees are well informed on all the necessary safety procedures; but our focus on safety doesn’t stop there. Each year, we speak at local schools about proper safety procedures at home and as they relate to the utility industry.
Food Bank of Delaware
The Food Bank of Delaware provides nutritious foods to Delawareans in need and facilitates long-term solutions to hunger and poverty through community education and advocacy. The organization is a member of Feeding America, a statewide nonprofit agency whose vision is a community free of hunger. Find out more by visiting the Food Bank of Delaware website.
Chesapeake Cares Mentor Program
Our Chesapeake Cares Mentor Program is one our company’s initiatives to engage our employees and connect with our local communities. We successfully partnered with Connecting Generations to develop and launch our mentor program in Delaware.
