New round-up campaign runs through October 31, with Parker’s Kitchen matching 25% of customer donations to amplify the impact
SAVANNAH, Ga. (July 9, 2025) – Parker’s Kitchen, a leading convenience store company with a powerful commitment to making a transformative impact in the communities it serves, recently raised $360,000 to support injured local veterans in Georgia and South Carolina through a special partnership with Wounded Warrior Project. The company matched 25% of all customer donations to amplify the impact and to help even more veterans.
Parker’s Kitchen is honored to launch a new round-up campaign, which runs now through October 31 at all retail locations. Proceeds from the latest campaign in Georgia and South Carolina will benefit Parker’s House for Women in Savannah, Ga., a residential facility that is operated by Union Mission and provides emergency housing, counseling and comprehensive services for women experiencing homelessness. Proceeds from the Parker’s Kitchen round-up campaign in Charleston, S.C. will be donated to Roper St. Francis Healthcare to provide healthcare for uninsured and underinsured residents across the Charleston area. The company will match 25% of all customer donations.
“When you shop at Parker’s Kitchen, you know your money is staying local and making a positive impact by supporting incredible nonprofit organizations like the Parker’s House for Women and Roper St. Francis Healthcare,” said Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker. “We love giving back to the community and invite customers to join us by rounding up their transactions to the nearest dollar to help us make positive change across the region.”
Parker’s Kitchen round-up donations benefit a rotating series of nonprofit organizations through the Parker’s Community Fund, which supports area 501(c)3 organizations dedicated to making a positive, measurable impact in four key focus areas: supporting education, expanding access to healthcare, reducing hunger and helping local veterans.
Known for its longstanding commitment to charitable giving, Parker’s Kitchen is one of the most generous companies in the convenience store industry and in the Southeast. The Parker’s Community Fund was created in 2021 by a major donation from Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker.
In recent years, the company made a landmark $5 million donation to provide healthcare to uninsured and underinsured patients at Roper/St. Francis Healthcare in Charleston, S.C.; endowed the Parker’s Emergency and Trauma Center at Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Ga.; and made a record $5 million donation to name the Parker College of Business at Georgia Southern University, supporting the next generation of business leaders in Georgia. The Parker’s Community Fund also provided critical funding for Union Mission to open the Parker House for Women in Savannah, Ga., which is the region’s first and only facility for unaccompanied homeless women.
In addition, the company’s acclaimed Fueling the Community charitable initiative donates a percentage of gas sold at all Parker’s and Parker’s Kitchen locations on the first Wednesday of each month to area schools. To date, the Fueling the Community program has donated more than $2.5 million to schools across Georgia and South Carolina.

Headquartered in Savannah, Ga., the company has enjoyed steady 20 to 24 percent annual growth for the past 25 years and has been featured seven times on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
