Vermont Business Magazine Price Chopper/Market 32 launched its November campaign to help raise funds for the nonprofit organization, Disabled American Veterans (DAV). From Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, Price Chopper/Market 32 customers will be given the opportunity to round up their change at checkout, 100% of which will go directly to DAV. Price Chopper/Market 32 will kick start the fundraising with a $5,000 donation.
DAV is a nonprofit charity that provides cost-free lifetime support to more than a million veterans of all generations and their families, each year. In addition to having extended nearly 250,000 free rides to medical appointments and assisted with 137,000 benefit claims last year, DAV worked to connect veterans with meaningful employment opportunities by hosting traditional and virtual career fairs that attract more than 32,000 attendees. During the pandemic, they were also able to provide nearly $2 million in COVID-19 unemployment relief nationwide to veterans in need.
“DAV goes to great lengths to provide for our disabled veterans and their families,” said Mona Golub, Price Chopper/Market 32’s vice president of public relations & consumer services. “With an abundance of gratitude for the sacrifices that veterans have made in serving our country, Price Chopper/Market 32 takes pride in supporting DAV’S efforts.”
DAV’s goal is to empower veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. This is accomplished by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.
