The Trainer Refinery has deep roots in Marcus Hook, Trainer, and Chester. Today, Monroe Energy continues to play a vital role in these communities and throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. We’re focused on more than just creating family-sustaining jobs. We consistently strive to be a responsible corporate citizen. Our team members serve on boards of local and community organizations. We actively encourage volunteerism, and we organize and participate in a number of philanthropic activities, particularly those that support education and the children in our communities. We even maintain a fully staffed fire department, Monroe Energy Fire Dept. 86, which responds to local emergencies when asked. We do all of this because we care about our neighbors, and it’s the right thing to do.
Serving children in our communities
At Monroe, we believe in the power of education. We fund educational trips and assemblies for local elementary school students, donate slightly used computers, monitors, and printers to help close the digital divide in our schools and we contribute to various scholarship organizations. Through our employee resource groups, Monroe administers and awards our own scholarship program for high school seniors preparing to attend college. We also participate in a number of events and programs that support young people in our community and have given winter coats to almost 1000 students in our schools.
We are actively involved
We believe in giving back to the community — our team members are passionate about service, and that reflects in the kind of organization we are. Our team members serve on a variety of boards, from various economic and business development organizations to educational & historic preservation boards and environmentally focused organizations. For example, a number of our emergency response team members also serve in leadership capacities for their local municipal fire departments. We also offer an employer donation matching program to further maximize the generosity of our team members.
Monroe participates in a number of community advisory groups and environmentally focused organizations as well as several business associations and chambers of commerce. We are also involved in fundraising on our own and in partnership with our contractors to support various philanthropic causes. Our annual ‘Charity Fore Champions’ golf outing raises money for a variety of different charities and nonprofits every year. We also value the great work done by the various environmental nonprofits with whom we partner.
We are deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we live and operate, believing that our success is intertwined with the well-being of our neighbors.
