The largest, locally owned chain of convenience stores, Kwik Stop, has announced they've opened applications for philanthropic partnerships during 2024, effective now.

Since 2002, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen customers have been a driving force for change in Dubuque and the Tri-States as a whole. Each month, a new organization is selected as the "Kwik Care recipient." For the entire month, customers at those respective businesses can donate to said nonprofit with ease.

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.

This month's recipient is Forever Amy, a new nonprofit whose mission is "to help protect and empower survivors of domestic violence and abuse, to create greater awareness, and to encourage collective action from our entire community to end violence and abuse," per their website.

This week, Kwik Stop announced an opportunity for philanthropic partnership during 2024 via their Kwik Care program. Kwik Stop is now accepting applications from local nonprofits for the Kwik Care program in 2024:
