Casey’s General Stores Inc. Launches Annual Hunger Relief Campaign
1. Partnership with DoorDash and Feeding America
Casey’s General Stores Inc., a prominent player in the convenience retail and pizza sectors, has announced its annual campaign aimed at combating hunger in the United States. The initiative, in collaboration with DoorDash and Feeding America, seeks to provide an impressive 10 million meals to local food banks within Casey’s operational footprint. The campaign highlights Casey’s commitment to community support and addressing food insecurity in rural areas, where hunger rates remain alarmingly high.
2. Campaign Details
The fundraising efforts will run from now until April 7, allowing Casey’s customers to contribute in several impactful ways:
- Rounding Up Purchases: Shoppers can opt to round up their in-store purchases, with the difference going directly to the hunger relief campaign.
- Online Donations: Customers placing orders online will have the option to add a donation to their total.
- DoorDash Deliveries: For every Casey’s order delivered through DoorDash, the company will donate the monetary equivalent of one meal, up to a total of 300,000 meals.
These contributions will directly benefit 61 local Feeding America partner food banks, ensuring that assistance reaches the communities that need it most.
3. Addressing the Hunger Crisis
Ena Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Casey's, emphasized the urgency of the issue, stating, “Hunger continues to affect far too many people, especially in the rural communities that Casey’s proudly serves and calls home.” The campaign aims to rally guests, team members, and partners to work collaboratively with Feeding America in making a tangible difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity.
According to Feeding America, one in seven individuals, including one in five children, experience hunger in the U.S., marking the highest rate since 2014. Notably, every dollar donated during this campaign can help provide at least 10 meals, showcasing the significant impact of community involvement.
4. Longstanding Commitment to Community Support
Elizabeth Pettengill, Interim Vice President of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships at Feeding America, praised Casey’s ongoing dedication to community service. She stated, “Casey’s dedication to supporting its communities goes beyond a single initiative—it’s a longstanding partnership making a meaningful difference.” The partnership has been active since 2020, during which Casey’s and its guests have successfully provided over 30 million meals to those in need.
In fiscal year 2025 alone, Casey’s contributed $6.6 million towards core community needs, demonstrating a robust commitment to social responsibility. The company’s efforts through programs like the in-store round-up campaigns, powered by Round It Up America®, have proven to be effective in mobilizing community support for vital causes.
