Company accepting monetary donations at registers to support
students, childhood hunger programs
MATTHEWS, N.C., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Harris Teeter announced today the launch of its
Backpack Boosters Round Up Campaign to help provide nutritious
meals and school supplies to students-in-need.
Now through Sept. 24, customers
are invited to round up their transaction to the nearest whole
dollar to support this effort. Customers can support the campaign
at checkout and self-checkout.
The funds collected through Backpack Boosters will benefit local
food bank backpack programs which provide nutritious meals and
snacks to families-in-need across Harris
Teeter's operating area.
In select North and South
Carolina counties – Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Iredell, Gaston and Lancaster – the funds will be divided evenly
between Second Harvest Food Bank of the Metrolina and Classroom
Central.
Classroom Central's mission is to equip students-in-need to
learn by collecting and distributing free school supplies to
students and teachers, which is a mission Harris Teeter is thrilled to support again this
year.
"While many families look forward to weekends, there are many
children who leave school on Friday afternoon not knowing when
they'll receive their next meal," said Danna Robinson, director of corporate affairs
for Harris Teeter. "With generous
contributions from our associates and customers to support our
Backpack Boosters Round Up campaign, we can help those children and
their families who are facing food insecurity and make sure they
have the supplies needed to thrive in the classroom every day of
the year."
100% of funds collected through this campaign will benefit the
local community in which the donation was made.
