WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. -- Through December 19, QuickChek Corp. will be participating in the Check-Out Hunger campaign to help feed hungry families during the holiday season.
The Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based convenience-store chain is a campaign partner of the annual fundraiser that takes place every autumn at most major supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the region, benefiting more than 30 Feeding America food banks and affiliates from New England to Florida. The Community Food Bank of New Jersey, the Hudson Valley Food Bank and Long Island Cares are among those beneficiaries.
This is the 25th year of Check-Out Hunger.
Shoppers at each of QuickChek’s 142 stores can donate $1, $3 or $5 coupons at checkout counters. The company raised $125,000 during the 2014 campaign.
“Being in the food business, our partnership with community food banks where we have stores is a natural way for us to further embrace our local communities and neighbors in their time of need,” said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling.
All of the money raised benefits those in need within the counties in which QuickChek operates store locations.
In addition to participating in Check-Out Hunger, QuickChek team members volunteer at the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, the Hudson Valley Food Bank and Long Island Cares throughout the year.
Family-owned QuickChek, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., has 142 locations throughout New Jersey, New York’s Hudson Valley and Long Island.
