Business Wire
On December 3, the Un-Carrier activates a
giving campaign that will mobilize customers, employees and fans to
help the 37 million American families facing hunger this holiday
season
What’s the news: This Giving Tuesday, December 3,
T-Mobile is rallying customers, employees and fans to help donate
up to 5 million meals* to people in need through a partnership with
Feeding America®, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization.
And because T-Mobile employees love to give back to the communities
they serve every day, the Un-Carrier is planning 100 employee
volunteer events with Feeding America member food banks across the
country through the end of the year.
Why it matters: More than 37 million Americans face
hunger at home. By donating financial resources and employee
volunteer hours — and by activating fans and followers to do their
#GivingOnUs — the Un-carrier is stepping up to make a BIG impact at
a time when people need it most.
Who it’s for: Anyone who wants to help T-Mobile feed
hungry families this holiday season, and anyone interested in how
companies are spreading the love this holiday season.
This Giving Tuesday, December 3, and throughout the holiday
season, T-Mobile is serving up multiple ways for customers,
employees and fans to give up to 5 million meals to communities in
need. It’s a big goal, and to get there the Un-carrier is
continuing its longstanding partnership with Feeding America, the
country’s largest hunger-relief organization, as well as activating
its T-Mobile Tuesdays app, social media channels and Team Magenta
members across the country so everyone has the opportunity to do
their #GivingOnUs.
“This year on Giving Tuesday, T-Mobile is ringing in the holiday
season and giving back in a BIG way by encouraging our employees,
customers and fans to do their #GivingOnUs! We’re going to donate
up to 5 million meals to people in need — helping people focus on
connecting with their families without having to worry about
getting food on their table,” said John Legere, CEO of
T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is offering two main ways for everyone to do their
#GivingOnUs on December 3.
- T-Mobile Customers: Save a Deal, Give a Meal. Customers
can give up to five meals by saving any of the deals in the
T-Mobile Tuesdays app on December 3. For every deal saved, T-Mobile
will donate a meal to Feeding America.
- Everyone: Every time anyone tweets with #GivingOnUs,
T-Mobile will contribute 10 meals to Feeding America.
In total, via the T-Mobile Tuesdays app and Twitter, T-Mobile
will donate up to 5 million meals to Feeding America!
T-Mobile employees are also rolling up their sleeves and
carrying the spirit of generosity into the entire holiday season
with a goal to host 100 volunteer events with Feeding America
member food banks across the country, providing hands-on support to
the families facing hunger right in their own backyard.
And that’s not all! The T-Mobile Foundation will deposit $25
into every employee’s Giving Account, which they can donate to the
charity of their choice. With more than 52,000 Team Magenta members
across the U.S., that adds up to a potential $1.3 million of
charitable giving! By offering multiple ways to engage, T-Mobile
and the T-Mobile Foundation are embracing the passion and
enthusiasm of T-Mobile employees who are committed to giving back
on a national scale AND connecting personally with the communities
they serve every day.
“Everyone has a role to play in ending hunger, whether that’s
making a donation, volunteering at a local food bank or using your
voice on social media to spread the word,” said Jenn Kovacs,
Interim Chief Development Officer at Feeding America. “We can’t end
hunger alone. Individuals, businesses, charities and government
entities must all join the fight. We’re tremendously grateful for
T-Mobile’s commitment in helping to fight hunger and bringing
national attention to this critical issue.”
T-Mobile is committed to changing America’s communities for
good, which is why the Un-carrier is continuing its partnership
with Feeding America to provide families in need with food for the
holidays. Feeding America operates a network of 200 member food
banks, which provide food and groceries to 60,000 food pantries,
soup kitchens and emergency feeding sites around the U.S. Add the
potential 5 million meals for Giving Tuesday to the 10 million
meals donated through the Slow Cooker Sunday Cookbook campaign
earlier this year and T-Mobile’s 2019 contribution to Feeding
America could total up to 15 million meals!
The commitment to giving back is in the Un-carrier’s DNA. So far
in 2019, T-Mobile employees have offered more than 53,000 volunteer
hours to organizations that support youth, veterans, the
environment, disaster recovery, ending hunger in America and more —
a 55% increase over this time last year.
