Altoona, Pa. — Sheetz, a major Mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain, has announced its annual Sheetz For the Kidz donation campaign that kicked off in December.
Customers can support local families in need of clothes, toys and more this holiday season by making a donation a check-out through donation boxes or adding donations to their purchase at the point of sale.
In 2021, customers raised $2.2 million for children in need through in-store fundraising, the most money the charity has raised through customer donations since it was created in 1992. The donations helped make the holiday season brighter for over 10,000 children within the six states Sheetz operates. To date, the charity has positively impacted more than 150,000 children living in the communities Sheetz serves.
In partnership with Make-A-Wish®, funds raised during the campaign also sponsor wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The charity sponsors one child per Sheetz operating district, totaling 61 children this year.
Additionally, their partnership with Feeding America® served 1.3 million meals this year through backpack programs, kids cafés, school and mobile pantries, and summer feeding programs.
