T-Mobile to Deliver up to 5M Meals for Giving Tuesday by Inviting Everyone to Do Their #GivingOnUs

BELLEVUE, Wash., November 26, 2019 /3BL Media/ — 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.
