Hunt strongly believes in taking care of the communities that surround its operations, therefore the company takes part in campaigns and initiatives that give back to those communities.

Hunt has partnered with Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) to develop and implement a corporate volunteer program. The Be In Good Company program recognizes companies who make a difference in our community and exhibit a program or initiative in each of these three pillars of excellence: A Thriving Culture, A Thriving Team, and A Thriving Future.

At Hunt, we will hold three separate events during the year that each focus on an individual pillar of excellence. We are joined in this initiative by CFT and representatives of our partnering nonprofit organizations.

Hunt Helpers is a campaign that was created in 2019 in partnership with Communities Foundation of Texas. Through this program, Dallas-based Hunt employees are allowed to spend a full day volunteering at organizations throughout the city that provide valuable resources and services to residents and the community at large. In addition to off-site volunteer opportunities, the program also includes on-campus service opportunities to ensure that all employees have the chance to participate in the day’s volunteerism.

Hunt Refining holds an annual United Way of West Alabama Campaign.  Employees volunteer to be part of the Volunteer Allocation Team to review local non-profits financials, operations, and facilities to assure donations are allocated and used properly.  Each year, Hunt Refining designates a day to work at a local non-profit to update, improve, and complete any needed project.   

In 2019, With the company match and several additional employee-led fundraisers, the campaign set a record with a total donation of  $642,704.86. Not only did that make HRC the No. 1 donor in West Alabama, but it also made HRC the No. 1 corporate donor as well! 

The success of the campaign proves Hunt Refining Company’s employee’s commitment to helping those less fortunate in their communities.

Community outreach is very important to Hunt. Across all our operations, Hunt is committed to positively impacting the communities in which we serve or conduct business.

Hunt Volunteers is an employee led group with Hunt who get together monthly to raise funds and donate their time and talents to local Dallas based nonprofits needing assistance.

Their mission is to act as community volunteers, endeavor to create interest in volunteerism among fellow employees and create fellowship and goodwill through active civic and community involvement.

The group, though sanctioned by the company, makes its own decisions regarding which volunteers projects to undertake. 

Kimberly is an athlete born in Huancayo, Peru, specializing in the long-distance discipline of race walking. Different from running or jogging, race walking is a foot race wherein one foot must stay in contact with the ground at all times. Kimberly holds four national records in Peru for her 5 km and 10 km walks at the 2016 World Race Walking Team Championships in Rome; her 20 km walk at the 2018 IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships in Taicang, China; and her 10,000 m walk at the 2018 Ibero-American Championships in Trujillo, Peru.

PERU LNG and Hunt Oil Company of Peru have been sponsoring Kimberly since 2017, after her successful participation at the Olympic Games in Rio the previous year. Since then, Kimberly has been named the Best Athlete of 2017 by the Athletics Federation – she even won the silver medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, ranking seventh in the World Championships category and obtaining good results in the Challenger of Portugal category, among other achievements!

In 2020, Kimberly was the first Peruvian to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games with her win at the Pan American Race Walking Cup in Mexico, finishing with a time of 1 hour, 29 minutes, and 33 seconds.

As part of our Hunt extended family, we are proud to support Kimberly in achieving her goals and we’re confident that she will continue her winning streak at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games!

Voluntary service is carried out by collaborators from different sites and departments of our company in Perú who offer their support to various social causes, which in turn encourages a culture of social commitment.

In 2020, the volunteers continued to support Asociación de las Bienaventuranzas. In January, they campaigned to obtain donations to help victims of a fire in the district of Villa El Salvador, province of Lima. Since March 2020, voluntary work focused on families living in extreme poverty, who had been directly economically affected by the restrictive measures decreed by central government in response to the COVID-19 emergency. In March, funds were collected from our collaborators and a significant donation was made to the “Share your Bread with the Hungry” campaign organized by the Asociación de las Bienaventuranzas. In June, they assisted the “Peru without Hunger” campaign organized by Caritas del Peru. The collected funds were donated to communal diners in the parishes of San Vicente de Cañete.

Hunt Refining participates in an Adopt-a-School program with Oakdale Elementary School. On the first day of school, employees are at the doors to greet students and welcome them back to school. Employees teach the basics of eye contact, speaking up, and shaking hands. They also participate in the Read Across America program with the elementary school where they read to students in different classes throughout the school. Each year, Hunt Refining holds a career fair for the elementary school to help students understand different job opportunities within their community. Our students would not be where they are without the help of their fantastic teachers, so Hunt Refining makes sure to provide teachers with snacks and supplies to show unwavering appreciation for their hard work.

Hunt Refining Company employees in Tuscaloosa participated in the 2022 Junior Achievement Bowling Classic on March 5, 2022. This event helps to raise money for Junior Achievement (JA) programs that are provided free to students throughout Tuscaloosa County. This year, Hunt Refining Company sponsored one team of teachers from Oakdale Elementary (our Adopt-a-School), one team of healthcare workers from DCH, another local school team, and four HRC teams.

In October 2014, an agreement was signed between PERU LNG and FONCODES (Social Development Cooperation Fund) in which PERU LNG would finance 100% of the Mi Chacra Emprendedora – Haku Miñay project in its direct areas of influence.
The winning project was focused on improving skills, living conditions, and eating habits among poor families living in rural areas. This initiative has been able to benefit 283 families by providing training, technical assistance, and education on nutrition, healthy eating, hygiene, home organization, and even management of solid wastes.
