The Dispatch
The Salvation Army and Sheetz have collaborated to do good by bringing holiday cheer to underprivileged children for several years. They announced the successful conclusion of their 2020 Sheetz For the Kidz™ holiday program, which was part of The Salvation Army’s ‘Rescue Christmas’ campaign. Thanks to Sheetz employees’ and customers’ generosity, nearly 10,000 children in need from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina were able to celebrate the holiday season with new toys, clothes and basic needs.
Prior to COVID-19, the Sheetz For the Kidz program worked with The Salvation Army to identify underprivileged children within Sheetz’s footprint and collect their holiday wish lists. Sheetz employees from each operating area would purchase items on the children’s wish lists, wrap them and host parties for all the participating children. Customer donat
