Casey’s Foods will be asking customers if they want to help Ukrainian refugees by donating one-dollar or more at the registers to Samaritan’s Purse International Relief. Customers placing online orders also have the option to add a donation to their cart on caseysfoods.com/shop.
Samaritan’s Purse is helping hundreds of patients in their emergency field hospital in Lviv and several medical clinics in southern Ukraine. The international organization is also distributing relief items through church partners in Ukraine and Moldova.
“There is a critical need for medical care and support for the Ukrainian people from around the world as they face unimaginable crisis,” said Kris Visher, Casey’s Foods owner. “I am touched by the efforts of Samaritan’s Purse and know that the funds raised by families who visit our store here in Naperville will allow us to help families displaced far away from their homes in Ukraine.”
Casey’s Foods will match donations up to the first $10,000 raised now through April 30, 2022.
