Sheetz announced that Sheetz For the Kidz, its employee-driven charity supporting underprivileged children, raised more than $2.4 million for local children in need in 2025, surpassing totals from previous years. This total amount includes a record-breaking $1.1 million raised in December alone.

During July and December of last year, Sheetz customers were invited to support Sheetz For the Kidz by donating at checkout in Sheetz’s 800-plus stores, either through in-store donation boxes or by adding a contribution at the point of sale. These funds helped provide clothing, toys, and other essentials to children in need through the Sheetz For the Kidz Holiday Program, in partnership with The Salvation Army.
