Parker’s Kitchen recently presented a check for $360,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to support local injured veterans and their families across Georgia and South Carolina, according to a press release sent to NACS.

Parker’s Kitchen matched 25% of all customer donations during a round-up campaign earlier this year. The retailer said that WWP CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Walt Piatt accepted the donation at the Parker’s Kitchen headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.

“At Parker’s Kitchen, we’re incredibly honored to support local veterans and their families through our ongoing partnership with Wounded Warrior Project,” said Parker’s Kitchen founder and executive chairman Greg Parker. “Veterans are heroes who have selflessly served our nation and bravely defended our freedom. When you shop at Parker’s Kitchen, you know your money is staying local and making a positive impact.”

Parker’s Kitchen said its round-up donations “benefit a rotating series of nonprofit organizations through the Parker’s Community Fund, which supports area 501(c)3 organizations dedicated to making a positive, measurable impact in four key focus areas: supporting education, expanding access to healthcare, reducing hunger and helping local veterans.”
