Quench your thirst and do good at the same time on Slurpee® Name Your Price Day. On September 14th, Slurpee fans can pay what they want for a large Slurpee at any 7-Eleven® Canada locations, and sip away feeling good that 100% of the donation goes to Food Banks Canada in their support of local food banks.
Whether it’s $2, $5, or $20, the simple act of purchasing a large Slurpee can have a big impact on and help Canadians living with food insecurity. For every $1 donated, Food Banks Canada is able to provide 2 meals to those in need.
“Being a good neighbour and supporting the communities we operate in is one of our core values, and it’s a sentiment shared by our customers too,” says Marc Goodman, VP & GM of 7-Eleven Canada. “Our customers have been so supportive the past 8 years of Slurpee Name Your Price Day, and this year, we hope they’ll join us again in the quest to make this our biggest donation event yet.”
Support for Food Banks Canada is now more important than ever as visits to food banks have increased by over 20 per cent since 2019, with Canadians making over 1.3 million visits in March 2021 alone.
“We are grateful for our partnership with 7-Eleven® Canada and to everyone who takes the time to purchase a Slurpee® on September 14th,” said Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer of Food Banks Canada. “These donations come at an important time, when food banks in every region of Canada are stretched to their limits, reporting increased demand, which is expected to remain high as more and more people count on food banks to help them cope with rising inflation.”
This is also a perfect opportunity for Slurpee fans to treat themselves to limited-time, feature flavours like Crush Cactus Catapult, Fanta Dragon Fruit, Blueberry Yuzu Lemonade and Frog Water in addition to fan favourites like Coca-Cola, Crush Orange and newly returned MTN Dew Blue Shock. And to make this even a sweeter donation, customers can earn 7Rewards points with their donations by scanning their 7-Eleven app at checkout.
