Giving back to the Community

Every year at J.R.'s Fresh Cut Fries we pick 3 non profit/charities to donate a portion of our sales to each month. We use social media like Facebook/Twitter to ask our customers who they would like us to choose for the year. We feel that giving back to the community that helps us each and every day is not just a nice thing to do but is a requirement that every business should do. I honestly can say that we receive so much more than what we donate because of the goodwill that it generates. The groups we pick then try to support us by also using social media to tell their followers about us and ask them to support us as well. The three non profit/charities that our customers help us choose are given a monthly portion of our sales for each and every month for the whole calendar year and then the next year we ask again who our customers would like to see us help. We try to choose organizations that help the many, especially those who are hungry and in dire need of help. With the help of our customers the non profit charities we chose for the calendar year of 2017 are: The York Rescue Mission, The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Pennsylvania, and The York County S.P.C.A.

 

I encourage every business person in our Community here to do the same. Many small businesses tell me they can't afford to give, my reply is you really can't afford not to give. We have been in business for 10 years now and experience record growth each and every year in a very competitive field and I credit giving back as one of the reasons that keep us growing.

@Ron - Thanks so much for sharing. This is really awesome that you do this. 👏

 

I'd love to hear more ways that other Square sellers are giving back to their communities.

Would be great there was the ability to add "round up" for charity or donation options on invoices. Did some quick searching however I did not find a solution yet.
