White Castle and The American Red Cross Partner this Holiday Season to Help Those in Need.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — For the fifth year in a row, White Castle, America’s first fast food restaurant, is partnering with the American Red Cross to expand its love for its communities and support the work done by American Red Cross volunteers throughout the nation.
“The team members at White Castle are dedicated to supporting our communities and great organizations, like the American Red Cross, that do so much to help so many,” said Jamie Richardson, Vice President of White Castle. “It’s amazing the positive difference even one person can make and it brings us great pride to see the impact our loyal Cravers make when they work together to support a worthy cause.”
From December 10 to December 30, 2017, White Castle will accept donations at all of its restaurants in increments of $1, $3 and $5 to support the Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts to help families recover from home fires. Customers who donate can show their support by placing paper Red Crosses on the wall at their local White Castle. All proceeds raised will go to support the Red Cross disaster relief efforts across the nation.
The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Donations to the Red Cross help the organization provide safe shelter, food, emergency relief supplies, emotional support and health services to those in the wake of disasters.
“We hope all of our Cravers will spread the holiday cheer this season and consider making a donation to the American Red Cross to help them continue their important work done throughout many communities across the nation,” Richardson said.
