Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 18, 2023 – Maverik — Adventure’s First Stop is kicking off its annual giving drive through two initiatives with Feeding America®, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. The first is a $250,000 contribution to Feeding America, followed by Maverik’s annual “Round Up Your Change” program, which invites customers to round up their in-store cash and credit transactions to the nearest dollar or more to help end hunger and support the Feeding America network of food banks.
Maverik’s campaign will run from Oct. 18 through Nov. 30, inviting customers who can spare any extra change to please do so by rounding up their transactions at any Maverik store. Credit transactions can round up to $999.99 and cash transactions can donate the amount of change to which they are owed or donate incremental amounts. Ninety percent of donations raised local will stay local, with the remaining funds supporting the Feeding America national organization.
“We understand food insecurity and hunger continues to face so many of our neighbors across our local communities,” said Chuck Maggelet, CEO and Chief Adventure Guide of Maverik. “That’s why we’re proud to team up with Feeding America again this fall to help support people in need, while offering an avenue for our customers to do so as well if they choose.”
Committed to helping end local hunger, Maverik is a longstanding supporter of Feeding America given its breadth of food distribution services across the country. Maverik’s 2022 Round Up campaign donated more than $470,000 to Feeding America helping provide more than 4.7 million meals* across 16 local food banks in 12 states – and has thus far also donated more than 994,000 pounds of surplus food helping provide 828,381 meals** through its food waste reduction program.
