Harris Teeter Launches Round Up Campaign To Support The Salvation Army
Harris Teeter has announced the launch of its United Way and Salvation Army Round Up Campaign. Now through Nov. 2, Harris Teeter shoppers are invited to round up their transaction to the nearest whole dollar at checkout. One hundred percent of funds raised will be distributed evenly among local United Way chapters and Salvation Army commands throughout Harris Teeter’s marketing areas.
“Harris Teeter is proud to continue its support of United Way and The Salvation Army,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “COVID-19 continues to impact many programs which fund critical programs for nonprofits like The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle program. By offering a convenient way for our valued associates and loyal shoppers to give back, we can help ensure our communities continue to have access to the critical resources they need.”
The Salvation Army of Wake County assists individuals and families-in-need by providing food for the hungry, emergency relief for disaster survivors, rehabilitation services, and clothing and shelter for those facing homelessness.
“We are grateful for Harris Teeter and our partners that help us serve this community,” said Major Chuck Whiten, area commander for The Salvation Army of Wake and Lee Counties. “In the coming months, we expect to see an increase in the numbers of requests from families and individuals needing shelter and food. Harris Teeter’s Round Up campaign will help families in Wake County that are in desperate need of hope.”
All funds collected through this campaign will remain local, benefitting the local United Way and The Salvation Army of Wake County.
This is the second year in a row that Harris Teeter, The Salvation Army, and United Way have partnered for the Round Up campaign.
