From essential items to monetary donations, c-store chain Rutter’s is stepping up to help those impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
Rutter’s is set to do its part to assist those affected by Hurricane Harvey. The convenience store chain is planning to send Rutter’s-branded bottled beverages; and is enabling customers to contribute through coffee purchases and in-store donations.
Now thru Oct. 1, Rutter’s will be donating to the Red Cross 10-cents per cup of all coffee sold in their stores, up to $10,000. In addition, Rutter’s will be collecting coin canister donations for the American Red Cross.
Rutter’s is partnering with UNFI & Martin’s Potato Chips to fill trucks with beverages, chips, personal care products and other essential items to provide to victims of Hurricane Harvey.
“Just like many others, we have been watching the news and seeing the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Supporting fellow Americans in a time of need and working with the Red Cross to assist the victims is central to our core values,” 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. Now under the third generation of family leadership, Rutter’s operates over 68 convenience stores throughout Central Pennsylvania and a dairy business serving the Mid-Atlantic region.
