In support of its steadfast commitment to the U.S. military and first responders, and in concert with the annual celebration of Memorial Day, Yesway will formally launch a National Two Star Partnership with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationhomefront.com\">Operation Homefront<\/a> on May 25, 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the foundation of the<strong><em> Yesway Gives Back<\/em><\/strong> charitable giving program, Yesway is supporting, honoring, and meeting the needs of current and former members of the U.S. military and their families, who have sacrificed so much while fighting tirelessly for our nation\u2019s freedom. \u00a0\u201cCountless numbers of brave Americans have demonstrated their courage and commitment to America and to freedom around the world by serving in the nation&#8217;s armed forces. \u00a0In partnering with Operation Homefront, Yesway will celebrate these heroic men and women and thank them for their service,\u201d stated Thomas Nicholas Trkla, Yesway\u2019s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \u00a0\u201cIt is very important to all of us at Yesway that we make meaningful contributions to the communities we serve. We are very proud to be an Operation Homefront partner, further underscoring our commitment as a company to support our veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Founded in 2002, Operation Homefront is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so that they can thrive \u2013 not simply struggle to get by \u2013 in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. Recognized for superior performance by leading independent charity oversight groups, 92 percent of Operation Homefront expenditures go directly to programs that support tens of thousands of military families each year. Operation Homefront provides critical financial assistance, transitional and permanent housing and family support services to prevent short-term needs from turning into chronic, long-term struggles. Thanks to the generosity of donors and the support from thousands of volunteers, Operation Homefront proudly serves America\u2019s military families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNot only will we be making a $50,000 donation in support of Operation Homefront\u2019s important and patriotic work, but we are also offering Yesway customers the opportunity to join us in supporting America\u2019s military and their families,\u201d continued Mr. Trkla. \u00a0\u201cWe will be donating up to an additional $25,000 from a portion of the sale of every bottle of our new Yesway-branded spring and purified water sold in our stores to this terrific organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He continued: \u201cIt is extremely important to all of us at Yesway to be good corporate citizens \u2013 to recognize and actively support those who serve or have served in the military, as well as local charities, civic organizations, and first responders \u2013 our fellow countrymen and women who make a difference in the lives of others, and who go above and beyond the call of duty while asking nothing in return. \u00a0This program is just a small way for our company to say \u2018thank you\u2019 to our troops for their service, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our country, and to the family members who support them on the home front every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We are incredibly grateful for Yesway\u2019s support of our mission to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive in the communities they have worked so hard to protect,\u201d said Margi Kirst, Chief Development Officer for Operation Homefront.\u00a0 \u201cYesway and its customers will help us provide critical assistance to military families through a variety of impactful programs that help those who give so much in service to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To mark the formal launch of the partnership, Operation Homefront will join Yesway at a ceremony at the Yesway store located at 5194 Buffalo Gap Road in Abilene, Texas, from 3:00 PM \u2013 7:00 PM CDT on Friday, May 25. \u00a0The company will present Operation Homefront with a donation check and will formally launch the Yesway-branded bottled water sales campaign benefitting Operation Homefront by donating 5 cents from the sale of every bottle of Yesway-branded spring and purified water, up to $25,000. Yesway team members will also be recognized for their military service during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Editor Note:\u00a0 To arrange interviews with Yesway executives, please contact Erin Vadala of Warner Communications at <\/em><a href=\"mailto:erin@warnerpr.com\"><em>erin@warnerpr.com<\/em><\/a><em> or (978) 468-3076.\u00a0 High-resolution images and graphics are available on request. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About Yesway \u2013 <\/strong>BW Gas &amp; Convenience, d\/b\/a Yesway, is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa.\u00a0 Yesway recently debuted at #7 on the Convenience Store News \u201c2018 Top 20 Growth Chains\u201d list and was named a \u201c2017 Chain to Watch\u201d by Convenience Store Decisions.\u00a0 Yesway\u2019s swiftly expanding portfolio currently consists of 88 stores located in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.
