Home Base and Sharp Energy Join Forces to Support Veterans and Military Families

BOSTON and DOVER, Del., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of Veterans Day, Home Base, a national nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of war, and Sharp Energy, a leading propane provider serving communities across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, today announced a multiyear partnership to expand awareness, support and health care for veterans, service members, military families and families of the fallen.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring those who have served, and the families who serve alongside them, can access the care and support they need.

As part of the three-year commitment, Home Base-branded Sharp Energy delivery trucks will travel throughout Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida, helping raise awareness of Home Base's programs and resources while generating support per stop of each branded truck for the Home Base mission.

Since 2009, Home Base has supported more than 65,000 veterans, service members, military family members and families of the fallen through programs focused on the invisible wounds of war.

"Veterans Day reminds us that gratitude should be matched by action," said Retired Brigadier General Jack Hammond, executive director, Home Base. "Sharp Energy's commitment will help us reach more veterans and military families in communities across the country and connect them with the care and support they deserve. We are grateful to have Sharp Energy standing alongside us in this mission."

"This partnership is especially meaningful to Sharp Energy because our employees chose to support this cause," said Bill Hancock, vice president, Sharp Energy. "Home Base's mission to care for the invisible wounds of war resonated with our team, and our employees are proud to carry it into the communities we serve."

The partnership builds on Sharp Energy's long-standing commitment to the communities it serves and gives employees and customers a visible way to help advance Home Base's mission. By taking that message on the road across Sharp Energy's service territory, the organizations hope to reach veterans and families who may not know support is available.
