Community Care Fund Performance
Harris Teeter at University Mall
Harris Teeter believes in getting involved and tackling difficult issues - like eliminating hunger, educating our children, and serving our communities. And for this company, these aren’t just hollow words. Harris Teeter sponsors and promotes food donation and reclamation programs, including the annual Harvest Feast celebration. Through their Together in Education program, they donate money to local schools and sponsor associatescholarships. And the method they use to serve the broader needs of local communities? The Triangle United Way, of course!
In particular, Harris Teeter at University Mall in Chapel Hill has been an incredible supporter of our mission to address the Triangle’s most pressing needs. In their 2007 campaign, the store manager spoke with employees individually about the importance of the Community Care Fund(CCF) and its network of over eighty local nonprofits. Employees responded by donating over 92% of the $11,729 raised to the CCF. Furthermore, Harris Teeter at University Mall has helped Triangle United Way time and again through in-kind donations for United Way events.
United Way’s strong partnership with Harris Teeter was integral to the success of the 2007 campaign and is greatly appreciated!
