WESTBOROUGH, Mass., April 30, 2024 — EG America raised $657,000 for the American Red Cross during its nationwide in-store fundraiser in March, in recognition of Red Cross Month.
Throughout the month, guests at EG America’s Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb, and Turkey Hill stores were able to donate $1, $5 or an amount of their choosing to the American Red Cross.
