Dubuque, Iowa— (December 14, 2020) — For years, Kwik Stop, Dairy Queen and Fazoli’s customers have been a force for change in our community! Since 2008, their spare change has added up to nearly $1.5 million for local nonprofits. Each month, Kwik Care features a local non-profit partner. During each partner’s designated month, all money collected from Kwik Care canisters is donated to the organization.

Kwik Care accepted applications through October 25th from local nonprofits for the Kwik Care program in 2021. “We had 37 great applications to review and determining our 12 recipients for the 2021 calendar was certainly a difficult task.” Tessa Fahey, Director of Retail Operations said. “This community is home to several wonderful non-profit organizations that are all doing important things. We are excited to partner with 12 of these local non-profits during the year, bringing awareness to their organizations and their mission in our community.”

The list of Kwik Care 2021 partners is as follows:

• January – Dubuque Rescue Mission
• February – Dubuque Dream Center
• March – Clarke University: CareerPLUS
• April – Riverview Center
• May – Miracle League of Dubuque
• June – DuRide July – Veterans Freedom Center
• August – Research for the Kids
• September – Hospice of Dubuque
• October – Dubuque County Firefighter’s Association
• November – Fountain of Youth Program
• December – Catholic Charities/Magical Kwik Stop Christmas

Kwik Care is only part of Kwik Stop’s community giving. For four decades, Kwik Stop has been donating to local non-profits and investing in local sponsorships that make our community stronger. Local non-profits are encouraged to submit donation and sponsorship requests at gokwikstop.com.
