Harris Teeter thanks valued associates, loyal shoppers for donating $1.3 million to the USO
Harris Teeter announced today a donation of $1.3 million to the USO, a military service organization that strengthens service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country. The donation was made possible through generous contributions from Harris Teeter’s loyal shoppers and valued associates during the Company’s annual Support Our Troops Round Up campaign.
From April 7 – June 13, all Harris Teeter locations hosted an in-store donation campaign, inviting shoppers to round up their transaction to the nearest whole dollar at checkout.
“The success of Harris Teeter’s Support Our Troops Round Up campaign is a direct reflection of the generosity of our valued associates and loyal shoppers,” said Danna Robinson, director of Corporate Affairs for Harris Teeter. “Through this generous donation, the USO can provide much-needed resources, programs and support for military service members and their families.”
This $1.3 million donation brings the Company’s total amount donated through Support Our Troops to over $13.8 million since the campaign’s inception in 2012.
All funds collected during the campaign will be allocated to local USO chapters throughout the areas in which Harris Teeter does business.
Harris Teeter, along with the USO, thanks its valued shoppers and associates who donated during the 2023 Support Our Troops campaign.
