Community
Haffner’s is honored to help support the programs at the Lazarus House in Lawrence, MA. These programs offer emergency shelter, food and clothing to people in crisis. They also provide transitional housing, advocacy, education and work preparation.
Haffner’s is pleased to support Bread & Roses, a soup kitchen in the heart of Lawrence, MA. Founded in 1980, their primary purpose is to ease hunger in the community by providing warm, nutritious meals to 120-150 individuals five nights per week (that’s over 50,000 meals each year)!
In late fall 2019, Esperanza Academy students were asked by Haffner’s to find beauty in their local surroundings and then transform it into a design for an oil truck. Congratulations to student winners: J’nyla, Jordyn, Michelle and Briany!
“We are so proud to have partnered with this amazing school and show the beauty of the Lawrence community on one of our trucks,” said Jeff Black, Owner & COO, Haffner’s.
Each year, Haffner’s is a proud sponsor and participant of the New Ipswich Congregational Church Children’s Fair. Not only do we provide the propane to power the event, but we also reward one lucky winner 100 gallons of home heating fuel!
For two decades, Haffner’s has partnered and fundraised with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The money raised each year sends kids to MDA Summer Camp and funds groundbreaking research efforts and best-in-class care for kids and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases.
Each member of the Haffner’s team proudly participates in the fundraising efforts every March.
History
Today Haffner’s is a regional leader in Heating Oil, Propane, Burner and AC Service to nearly 50,000 customers while offering consumers the opportunity to fill up and wash their vehicles at one of our many Haffner’s branded gas stations and car washes.
1925
Haffner’s Service Stations Inc. was founded in 1925 by John (aka Jack) and Emma Haffner. They began with one small “filling station” at 69 Parker Street in Lawrence.
1930
Jack and Emma’s only child, Louise, received both a burner-service technician license and a C1 tractor-trailer license, the first woman in the state to do so. She earned a degree in Chemical Engineering (MIT) with a focus on Petroleum Distilling and a Master’s degree in Business Administration (Boston University). She began operating and growing her family business to include oil and kerosene home delivery.
1965
Jack, Emma, Louise and Emile Fournier (Louise’s husband) continued to grow the fuel oil end of the business up until Jack’s passing. It was at this time that Louise’s oldest son, E. Haffner Fournier a.k.a. “Haff,” entered the business full time. Up until then, Haff had worked on a part-time basis for the company. He had serious plans for growing the business.
