Fareway Partnering with Variety to Conduct Round Up at the Register

Fareway is partnering with Variety – the Children’s Charity to conduct the seventh annual Round Up at the register through July 22nd at all 136 store locations, including Manchester and other area stores.

Fareway customers will have the opportunity to round up to the next dollar or provide an additional donation on their grocery bill to help fund Variety’s mission. Dollars raised through the Round Up will provide mobility equipment to children living with special needs. The money will also help fund and deliver effective programs and grants to care for children who are underprivileged, at-risk, critically ill, or living with special needs.

Variety works with physical therapists to identify children who would greatly benefit from a specialized bicycle or other piece of adaptive mobility equipment, such as gait trainers, standers, mobile standers and more. Additionally, the funds raised through the Fareway Round Up will help Variety provide grants to nonprofit organizations serving children, as well as vans to help transport children to programming activities.
