Kwik Shop Fundraising Campaign to Again Benefit Heartland Family Service

Area Kwik Shop stores will host the 7th annual “Make a Difference with a Dollar” competitive fundraising campaign during the month of August. Throughout the entire month, employees will invite their customers to donate a dollar with their purchases to help support the clients of Heartland Family Service (heartlandfamilyservice.org).

Because Kwik Shop’s business is related to auto ownership, the fundraiser contributes to the Heartland Family Service Ways to Work program, which offers low-interest auto loans to working families with challenging credit in Omaha, Council Bluffs and the surrounding areas. Proceeds from stores in Fremont will go toward supporting the Heartland Family Service Jefferson House Children’s Shelter and Group Home, which serves youth in and near Dodge County.

Last year, Kwik Shop donated a record $51,571.36 from the fundraising campaign for Heartland Family Service programming. In 2014, the campaign raised $40,438.89.

“The work the Kwik Shop organization does makes it possible for Heartland Family Service to continue to assist families to become financially self-sufficient,” Ways to Work Program Director Lisa Picker said.
