Alachua County Circle K stores honor first responders on 24/7 Day

Press release from Circle K

ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Circle K, the global convenience store chain, is proud to partner with the NACS Foundation to celebrate first responders on Friday, July 24, as part of the U.S. convenience industry’s annual 24/7 Day hosted by NACS – a day dedicated to thanking the first responders and volunteers who keep communities safe.

All first responders – including law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, doctors, nurses, 9-1-1 professionals, and American Red Cross volunteers – can show their official identification or stop by in uniform at 24 participating Alachua County Circle K locations on July 24 to receive a free hot dog, a cookie, and a medium Polar Pop drink.*

Circle K’s participation in the NACS Foundation’s 24/7 Day supports the American Red Cross and its mission to provide emergency assistance and disaster relief. Throughout July, Circle K customers can round up their purchases at self-checkout, with proceeds going directly to the American Red Cross.

“Our first responders are the bedrock of our communities, working around the clock to ensure our safety and well-being,” said Trey Powell, Senior Vice-President, US Food & Retail at Circle K. “We are honored to partner with the NACS Foundation and support the American Red Cross to show our collective gratitude for their selfless dedication. This year, we are showing our gratitude with our largest offer yet at more stores nationwide.”
