Future Farmers of America and 4-H:

Delta Liquid Energy sponsoring FFA & 4-H students with livestock projects

Every year Delta Liquid Energy strives to encourage the youth in San Luis Obispo County to pursue agricultural education. The responsibility of raising an animal for show is no easy feat; by sponsoring some of these kids and their animals Delta Liquid Energy shows support for their futures. A live auction is held at The California Mid State Fair every year. At this annual event, Delta Liquid Energy bids on steers, lambs, hogs, and more. All meat acquired by Delta Liquid Energy is donated to local food banks once the auction is complete.

Some years have brought unique challenges, such as in 2020 when The California Mid State Fair auction was held virtually. The students were unable to show their animals, but that didn’t stop them from doing their best. Read our blog to hear from a few students first hand on how they persevered through the show season despite COVID pandemic.

 

Local School Sponsorships:

Delta Liquid Energy proudly sponsors local youth sports

Above all, Delta Liquid Energy is proud to sponsor many school and youth activities in all the communities that we service. Youth sports leagues, booster clubs, and parent-teacher associations are all organizations we are happy to support.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic Relief

Throughout the course of 2020 and 2021 we’ve worked with our local communities in their efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus. In Bakersfield, we partnered with Walker Lewis Rents, LLC to heat triage tents at four area hospitals. Delta Liquid Energy supplied the propane and Walker Lewis Rents, LLC provided cylinders and portable heaters.

During the start of 2021 as vaccines were distributed, our central coast offices in Santa Maria and Paso Robles provided heat for tents used by SLO County Fire for vaccination distribution. Likewise, at the Paso Robles Event Center, Arroyo Grande High School, and Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, tents were set up to accommodate those interested in receiving vaccinations. Delta Liquid Energy set up temporary propane tanks to supply power to the tent’s heaters.
