LUBBOCK, Texas — On Thursday, United Supermarkets, in partnership with Mighty Wash and the South Plains Food Bank, kicked off the United for a Mighty Cause campaign to raise funds for the purchase of peanut butter to fight summer hunger. United Supermarkets kicked off this campaign earlier in the month with a lead gift of 50 cases (600 jars) of peanut butter to the South Plains Food Bank.

Running now through June 22, guests will have the opportunity to support the campaign by making donations at the register, with funds going towards the purchase of 16oz jars of peanut butter to help with summer hunger. For every donation of $1.89, guests will receive a Mighty Wash coupon for a free car wash to be redeemed at one of their Lubbock locations. Guests can specify to their cashier how many jars they would like to donate at check-out.

“United for a Mighty Cause is a fantastic partnership opportunity between United Supermarkets, Mighty Wash, and the South Plains Food Bank to fight against summer hunger in our community, “ said Abie Rampy, director of public relations for The United Family. “We are very proud to support the South Plains Food Bank in all the amazing and meaningful work they do for our community.
