Culver’s Day of Giving

July 9, 2009 by admin ·

Culver’s and the American Red Cross each share passion for local communities. We believe this provides a strong foundation to continue building upon our national partnership on a local level. For the past four years, local Culver’s stores have supported the Red Cross through a “Day of Giving” where 10% of the days sales benefit the American Red Cross. It takes friends and neighbors working together and a community that cares to make things better. That’s been a part of Culver’s homespun values for more than twenty years.  Culver’s restaurants, owners and team members have a year-round impact on the Red Cross. Many restaurants provide Disaster Action Team assistance; several team members volunteer their time, blood and money.

Special thanks to the Clinton Culver’s staff, patrons, and the Clinton community for supporting the effort again this year. Thanks to this support, $573.84 was raised to support the Red Cross mission right here in Clinton County, Iowa!
