Giving Thanks Through Giving Back with Wings and Rings
December 03, 2024With the holiday season ramping up, Thanksgiving is an ever-important reminder of how we each can make an impact by giving back in our communities. This Thanksgiving, we invite you to reflect on how you can support those in need, no matter where you live.
At Wings and Rings, we hold this initiative close to our own hearts. We’re passionate about serving the community through our Buffalove Foundation, a cause dedicated to fighting child hunger.
So, in the spirit of giving, we wanted to highlight four inspiring ways Wings and Rings has shown up for our local communities, as well as the ways you can get involved with volunteering ideas and ways to donate to help us make a difference.
1. Our Annual National Day of Service
Encouraging unity and action, each year the Buffalove Foundation is proud to donate money and participate in volunteer opportunities as part of our National Day of Service in February. Over the years, our staff and franchisees have used this day to dedicate their time to nonprofits and food banks aiding food-insecure children.
2. Expanding Dine to Donate Events
Good food and a good cause, we couldn’t think of a better combo. We're proud that our local Wings and Rings restaurants actively support our communities through our “Dine to Donate" events. We’re happy to host! Organizations can sign up with their local Wings and Rings and a portion of a dine-in day’s profits will go towards their charity.
Plus, we’ve made it our mission to hold even more donation events beginning next year in 2025 with weekly “Dine to Donate” events at restaurants across the country. Find your local Wings and Rings and follow us on social media to see if there are upcoming dine-in events near you.
3. Online Shopping that Gives Back
Did you know your online searches can support ending child hunger? Through GoodSearch.com, a search engine donating a portion of its revenue to charities, users can support the Buffalove Foundation. All you need to do is designate the Buffalove Foundation as your chosen charity and each internet search raises funds for Buffalove initiatives that provide food to communities in need.
4. We've Partnered with Kroger Plus
Shopping for your Thanksgiving feast? You can shop for your family meal and support the Buffalove Foundation at the same time. Kroger Plus cardholders can choose to designate the Buffalove Foundation as their preferred charity at Kroger.com/communityrewards. Every purchase made with the card accumulates points for quarterly cash distributions, directly aiding our mission to ending child hunger.
Share the Love this Giving Tuesday 2024
We hope that by highlighting how we spread the Buffalove, we’ve gotten you into the giving spirit. We invite you to go into this Thanksgiving weekend inspired with new ways to give back to your local community too!
In fact, you can give back just by ordering from Wings and Rings this Giving Tuesday. On Tuesday December 3rd, we’re donating 10% of all Wings and Rings sales ordered online or in our Wings and Rings app. Proceeds will go directly to the Buffalove Foundation, our foundation that funds non-profits donating food in local communities and fighting child hunger in the US. What’s not to love about that!
We wish you a happy Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy your time celebrating with friends and family. And, we look forward to having you over after you’ve recovered from the feast at a Wings and Rings location near you.
