Sheetz is launching a new campaign designed to help feed children and adults in need of food.
The program is called "Get a Meal, Give a Meal." For every 6-inch sub sold, Sheetz will donate 1 meal to Feeding America member food banks. For every 12-inch sub, they'll donate two meals.
The meals donated will be in monetary form.
“Sheetz has always been passionate and committed to giving hope to families and individuals in the communities we call home who are hungry and in dire need of access to food,” said Sheetz President/COO Travis Sheetz. “As a company, we are constantly working to grow our contributions to Feeding America and are always looking for creative ways to provide our customers with opportunities to make a positive impact on those in need across our footprint. This campaign was designed to do just that.”
The campaign runs throughout the entire month of May.
“Across the nation, families struggling with hunger are turning to food banks for help. We are honored to be able to serve communities during their most difficult times,” said Casey Marsh, Feeding America’s Chief Development Officer. “The support from companies like Sheetz help make this work possible – we are truly grateful for their commitment to fighting hunger.”
The Altoona-based convenience store chain operates more than 600 store locations throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.
