Awards $9,000 donation through Fueling the Community program.
Parker’s is once again giving back to local schools.
Parker’s donates a portion of every gallon of gas sold on the first Wednesday of each month to area schools through the Fueling the Community program. PumpPal club members can select which school will receive the proceeds from their Fueling the Community gas purchase on the first Wednesday.
“Giving back to the community is part of the Parker’s DNA,” said Parker’s Director of Operations Jeff Bush. “We believe in the power of education and are delighted to support the teachers in Effingham County who support student success and transform lives in their classrooms every day.”
Parker’s originally launched its charitable initiative in 2011 and has donated money to public and private schools in every community where Parker’s does business. The company operates 49 convenience stores in Georgia and South Carolina and completes more than 100,000 transactions daily.
Parker’s has been ranked on Inc.’s elite list of the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for four consecutive years. The company currently operates 49 convenience stores across the region and employs nearly 1,000 individuals throughout Georgia and South Carolina.
