Continuing the commitment to the Charitable Fund, Applegreen has also launched Double Donation December. Coinciding with Giving Tuesday (29 November), a day to support local causes and communities, the initiative will launch in store this week. Normal donations of 1 cent will increase to 2 cents for the month of December for every customer transaction instore.
In a press statement, Applegreen said an incredible commitment by colleagues and customers has been displayed throughout the pandemic and this generosity has led to an incredible milestone of €2 million being raised in the past three years alone.
Charities that have benefitted from the fund over the years include; the Irish Youth Foundation, Pieta, Enable Ireland, Friends of the Cancer Centre and Foodcloud to name a few. New charity partnerships will be announced by the Applegreen Charitable Fund in January 2023.
