Dubuque, Iowa— (October 6, 2020) —The largest, locally-owned chain of convenience stores, Kwik Stop announced an opportunity for philanthropic partnership during 2021 today. For years, Kwik Stop, Dairy Queen and Fazoli’s customers have been a force for change in our community! Since 2002, 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 is accepting applications from local nonprofits for the Kwik Care program in 2021. “The Kwik Care program saw great success with our application process for partners in 2020 and would like to continue this approach for the next calendar year,” Tessa Fahey, Director of Retail Operations said. “We are humbled by the continued generosity of our team, our customers, and the greater Dubuque community!”

Local nonprofits are encouraged to complete a Kwik Care partnership application form at gokwikstop.com and submit it on or before October 25, 2020. Selected partners will be featured in Kwik Stop, Dairy Queen, and Fazoli’s stores. “We will be reviewing and selecting up to 12 local Greater Dubuque organizations to partner with us throughout 2021,” Fahey said. “We are excited to go through the selection process and learn a little more about each of our local non-profits along the way.”

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 a donation and sponsorship requests at gokwikstop.com.
