September 1, 2017 -- Whataburger is proud to announce we’re partnering with the San Antonio Food Bank for the eighth year in a row to support their SA Goes Orange initiative. Throughout the month of September, SA Goes Orange aims to raise awareness for hunger prevention. In addition to donating $25,000, Whataburger will also host a fundraiser Sept. 12-26 to raise money for the food bank (this effort is especially important as funds support Hurricane Harvey victims in the area).

Here’s how the fundraiser works: customers who donate $1 or more to the San Antonio Food Bank will receive a coupon for a free Whataburger with purchase of a medium fry and 32-ounce drink for their next visit.

Through cash donations and past fundraiser events, the company has raised more than $225,000 for the food bank over the past eight years.

In addition to the fundraiser, Whataburger is also activating its employees, called Family Members, to volunteer at the food bank and raise awareness for SA Goes Orange:

Volunteer Days at the Food Bank, Sept. 16 and Sept. 23:

• 80 Family Members will sort and pack donations for families and disaster relief efforts.
• This year is especially important as the Food Bank extends its programs to support Hurricane Harvey victims in the surrounding areas.
• During a disaster, food banks are on the front lines providing relief to families that have lost access to essential nutrients and resources.
• They ensure that monetary donations, food and supplies are directly distributed to affected areas following a storm with the help of volunteers, community and partner agencies.
