In an effort to give back to the communities in which our energy industry employees live and work, Ventura Citizens for Energy Independence, along with Ventura County Supervisor John Zaragoza, hosted a free barbecue and school supply giveaway in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme’s Nyeland Acres Center.

More than 300 students and residents from the Nyeland Acres community attended the free community event, which included a barbecue, dance presentation by Boys & Girls Club students, free backpacks and school supplies to all children in attendance, a raffle, and a gift of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-focused supplies to the Boys & Girls Club Nyeland Acres Center.
