EG America spearheaded a nationwide fundraising effort in March, raising an impressive $657,000 for the American Red Cross in recognition of Red Cross Month.
Throughout March, patrons of EG America’s diverse portfolio of stores, including Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb, and Turkey Hill, had the opportunity to contribute to the American Red Cross. Customers could donate $1, $5, or any amount of their choice at the checkout.

He emphasized that the funds raised would empower Red Cross volunteers to continue their vital mission of delivering critical aid during times of crisis.
