Sheetz has announced that its employee-driven charity supporting underprivileged children, Sheetz For the Kidz, raised more than $1.81 million for local children in need in 2024. This total amount includes a record-breaking $852,476 that was raised this past December.

Created in 1992, the charity has positively impacted more than 180,000 children living within Sheetz’s footprint to date.

“Each year, we are deeply inspired by our customers who continue to surpass our expectations,” said Brittany Funcheon, Sheetz For the Kidz Executive Director. “Their unwavering generosity brings hope and joy to thousands of children across our seven-state footprint, making the holiday season brighter and more meaningful for so many.”
During the months of July and December last year, Sheetz customers had the opportunity to make a donation to Sheetz For the Kidz at check-out through donation boxes or by adding donations to their purchase at the point of sale. These funds supported local kids in need with clothes, toys and more through the Sheetz For the Kidz Holiday Program in partnership with The Salvation Army. Each of Sheetz’s 750+ stores supported 16 children from their local communities, totaling over 12,500 this past holiday season.
In partnership with Make-A-Wish, funds raised during the campaign also sponsored wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The charity sponsors one child per Sheetz operating district, totaling 78 children this past year. 
In order to broaden the connection to the communities it serves, Sheetz For the Kidz partners with Feeding America to provide food to children in need. In 2024, their $782,000 commitment served over 1.7 million meals through backpack programs, kids cafés, school and mobile pantries and summer feeding programs.
There are many ways customers can support Sheetz For the Kidz throughout the year including:
