Marathon Partners With Community Each year, Marathon Petroleum Company in Jefferson Hills invites local firefighters and emergency rescue personnel to visit its facility as part of the company’s Good Neighbor program. The purpose of the program is to familiarize emergency responders with its 55-acre asphalt storage facility and perform mock drills. Last fall, more than 20 fire and rescue participants practiced confined space entry and rescue procedures from inside an empty storage tank. These drills provide valuable hands-on training that prepares responders for real life situations. To support the Floreffe Volunteer Fire Company, Marathon recently presented them with a check for $1,000 to aid in the purchase of new fire hose. BOR OU GH O F J E FF ER SON HI LL S NE WS est Jefferson Hills Marathon also partners with the community by volunteering at the Olivet Presbyterian Church Food Bank in neighboring West Elizabeth. The Food Bank serves more than 60 local families each month. Marathon employees work with other volunteers to unload delivery trucks and stock the shelves.
