Parker’s Kitchen — a nationally acclaimed convenience store company and food service leader that’s currently celebrating its 50th anniversary — will partner with Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) to support local veterans in Georgia and South Carolina through a new round-up campaign, which will run from March 1 through July 5 at all Parker’s Kitchen locations.
As part of an ongoing commitment to give back to the community and to be a force for positive change, the company will match 25% of every customer donation, amplifying the impact and supporting even more veterans. In addition, the company will match 50% of every customer donation throughout the month of May in honor of National Military Appreciation Month and the Parker’s Kitchen 50th anniversary.
“We’re deeply honored to partner with Wounded Warrior Project for the third year to help local veterans and their families, who have made significant sacrifices to protect our freedoms,” said Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker. “At Parker’s Kitchen, we truly appreciate the service of military veterans and want to do our part to support heroes and their loved ones across Georgia and South Carolina.”
Parker’s Kitchen first joined forces with WWP in 2024 to help provide life-changing services and programs to local post-9/11 injured veterans, their families, and caregivers. To date, Parker’s Kitchen has donated more than $660,000 to the award-winning nonprofit organization.
“For 250 years, the service and sacrifice of wounded warriors has helped to guarantee our freedoms, and supporters have helped us honor their courage,” said Brea Kratzert Todd, vice president of business development at WWP. “We are so grateful for the support of Parker’s Kitchen, and we’re thrilled to partner with them for a third year to help warriors and their loved ones in Georgia and South Carolina. Together, we steadfastly care for the ongoing needs of warriors and empower their futures.”
WWP’s programs, advocacy, and awareness efforts help warriors thrive, provide essential lifelines to families and caregivers, and help prevent veteran suicides. Supporters like Parker’s Kitchen make that possible.
