Help Dubuque County Libraries via Kwik Stop’s Kwik Care Program

When it comes to supporting local non-profits, there might not be an easier and more impactful program than Kwik Care.

If you're not aware, Kwik Care has helped raise both funds and awareness for local nonprofits. Each month, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen help collect donations for a different organization. Donations can be made easily by requesting your total purchase at any of those businesses (including at the gas pumps at Kwik Stop) be rounded up to the nearest dollar. The additional cents used to round up will be donated to the respective charity of the month.

February's Kwik Care recipient is Friends of the Dubuque County Library District, a wonderful nonprofit dedicated to serving the libraries in the county by way of advocacy, education, and fundraising! Tiffany Stietz of the Dubuque County Library District joined Heather Hamm of Kwik Care in studio this morning to talk about all the work they do:

What we do is we raise funds for the library. Some of the things we fund are special programs that are not covered. We have a puzzle and a game collection, and a lot of other really fun things [....] we're hoping the Kwik Care proceeds benefit some of the programs that are offered in the summer [....] - Tiffany Stietz

Friends of the Dubuque County Library District is all about promoting literacy, stewardship, and camaraderie within the community, and they've done a marvelous job. Donating to this nonprofit via Kwik Care will help assure their summer programs can continue and offer kids and adults alike some fun during the warmer months of the year.
