C-Store customers help local charities through purchases at Rutter’s.
Now through the end of October, Rutter’s customers can help raise money for their favorite charity through the “Vote with Your Dollars program.”
This money raised through the program can be used to help these organizations meet their capital campaign and fundraising goals.
Currently, Make-A-Wish Greater PA & WV has a big lead. Adams County SPCA has a lead of its own in second place. Then, there is a close race for third place with the West York Borough Police Department K9 Unit, Leg Up Farm, and House of Hope in York. The Vote With Your Dollars program will run until Oct. 31, 2017.
Once an organization has been selected by the Rutter’s Children’s Charities donation committee, each participating organization will encourage their network of followers, volunteers, members, and others to complete two simple steps: to register as a Rutter’s Rewards VIP member and is to choose the cause they wish to support. When these steps are completed, every dollar an individual spends using their VIP credentials or Rutter’s Rewards card at the pump or inside the store counts as a vote for the charity they have selected.
“We are proud to be able to offer such great programs like Vote With Your Dollars and Rutter’s Rewards Schools. It allows our customers to partake in our record-giving donations. We encourage everyone to sign up for their organization of choice and help them reach their goals,” said Derek Gaskins, chief customer officer.
In the past decade, Rutter’s Children’s Charities has donated over $6 million to support charities in the local communities it serves.
