The 7-Eleven Slurpee Name Your Price Day is back, and for one day only on Sept. 21, all you have to do is drop by your nearest 7-Eleven store and grab a Slurpee. When it comes time to pay, you’re given the choice to name your price.
Every dollar raised during the event will be donated to Food Banks Canada to assist families and individuals facing food insecurity.
“Our Slurpee Name Your Price Day event is a special one as we get to make a direct impact in the communities we operate in, together with our partners at Food Banks of Canada,” said VP and GM of 7-Eleven Canada, Marc Goodman. “Every time someone buys a Slurpee, it helps provide meals for a neighbour in need.
“Last year, we raised over $50,000, leading to more than 100,000 meals. This year we hope to build on that legacy and hope customers will join us in making an even bigger impact,” he said.
“No matter how small your donation may seem, it can still make a significant impact,” said Kirstin Beardsley, the chief executive officer of Food Banks Canada.
Supporting your local food bank is more important than ever, with food prices on the rise and among rising visits to various food bank locations. Around one third of recipients are children, and food insecurity can affect anyone at any time.
Food Banks Canada has been in operation for over 40 years and operates from coast to coast to help prevent hunger among Canadians. The organization is responsible for over 4,750 food bank locations and reported nearly 1.5 million visits in March of 2022 alone. In the past decade, it sourced and shared over 1.4 billion pounds of food for those in their time of need.
