support of the company’s steadfast commitment to the U.S. military and
first responders, Yesway serves as a National Two-Star Partner with Operation
Homefront, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to build
strong, stable, and secure military families so that they can thrive in
the communities they have worked so hard to protect. This partnership serves
as the foundation of the Yesway Gives Back charitable giving program, through
which Yesway is supporting, honoring, and meeting the needs of current
and former members of the U.S. military and their families, who have sacrificed
so much while fighting tirelessly for our nation’s freedom.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have the support of an amazing Yesway team and their caring customers as they share our unwavering commitment to help our military families who are struggling to make ends meet,” said John I. Pray, Jr. Brig Gen, USAF (Ret.), President and CEO of Operation Homefront who attended the check presentation ceremony. “Their support brings our mission to life and allows us to provide a wide range of highly valued programs that give military families the opportunity to thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities they have worked hard to protect.” Thomas Nicholas Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway, said, “At Yesway, we feel it is important to make meaningful contributions to the communities we serve. In that spirit, not only have we donated $50,000 in support of all that Operation Homefront does for the brave Americans serving in our armed forces, but we invited Yesway customers to join us in supporting America’s military and their families who serve on the homefront as well.” He continued, “Beginning Memorial Day last year, we pledged also to donate five cents from the sale of every bottle of our Yesway-branded spring and purified water marked with the Operation Homefront logo sold in our stores, up to an additional $25,000, to this exceptional organization. The enthusiastic participation of our loyal customers has made it possible for us to come together today and present this check.” To find the Yesway store closest to you, please visit www.Yesway.com/locations.
