Red Cross Assisting with Hurricane Cleanup

August 31, 2017

Casey's announced today it will accept customer donations at the register to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Casey's will match all donations received from September 1 to September 15 up to $100,000. Funds will be provided to the American Red Cross to help those affected by record-setting floods that have devastated Texas and Louisiana, offering relief to thousands of people who have been forced to leave their flooded homes, losing everything they own.

"On behalf of Casey's General Stores our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those impacted by this tragic event," said Terry Handley, President and CEO of Casey's. "It is our corporate responsibility to help those in need, and we also acknowledge our customers' willingness to help people touched by Hurricane Harvey."

Casey's customers will have the ability to donate any amount up to $249.99 per transaction at the cash register of any Casey's location. Customers may add the amount to their purchase, or donate separately if they are not making an in-store purchase. Casey's will match customer donations up to $100,000.

Leslie Schaffer, Regional Executive for the Red Cross Iowa Region says, "Thank you to Casey's for stepping up and supporting the Red Cross relief effort. These donations will help us provide food and shelter to Americans who have lost so much from this unimaginable disaster."
