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.

This month's Kwik Care recipient is Hospice of Dubuque, a community-based nonprofit organization with a mission of providing compassionate care for the terminally ill and their loved ones. Hospice of Dubuque has been your hometown hospice center for 38 years. The work they've done has been impossible to quantify.

Heather Hamm of Kwik Stop/Rainbo Oil stopped by to talk about all that Hospice of Dubuque has to offer. You can take a listen to the interview below.

Hospice of Dubuque is indeed a nonprofit. All the money they receive goes back into helping the patients they serve. Here are all the locations where you can make a donation to Hospice of Dubuque in the month of October:

  • Kwik Stop on Pennsylvania Avenue
  • Kwik Stop on JFK Road

You can also make a donation via the Kwik Stop Rewards app too!
