PlugInGo.com and Meals on Wheels Partner to Give Back to the Needy

PlugInGo.com, a leading performance based marketing company announced today a partnership with Meals on Wheels, a renowned national charity that provides meals for the elderly. Through the partnership, PlugInGo.com will assume control of the shopping enterprise on Givemeals.com, with a portion of each sale in that section going toward the charity.

PlugInGo.com is spearheading the goal of raising over $365 million through "giving and purchasing" over the next 12 months. Each time a consumer makes a purchase on Givemeals.com, PlugInGo.com is donating its portion of the sale back to the foundation. Meals on Wheels serves over 200,000 thousand meals daily to those in need, and yet there are still an additional 10,000 hungry on the waiting list. This is a simple, easy way for the consumer to give back without having to write a check, spend more of their money, or take the time to send in an envelope. Buying a Max Studio dress? If you spend $150, that's nearly two meals for the elderly.

Said Enid Border, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels, "We are pleased to be teaming with PlugInGo.com and look forward to them maintaining the shopping area of GiveMeals.com, with their merchants. Every time someone shops on our fundraising website, a donation goes to Meals On Wheels Association of America to help seniors in need."

PlugInGo.com's CEO Thom Schlip saw the need to work for such a cause. Having watched his mother volunteer for the organization for years, he approached Meals on Wheels with the idea that buyers can "give" without having to further reach into their wallets. PlugInGo.com is sharing a significant portion of its proceeds on each sale. "We at PlugInGo saw this partnership as a tremendous opportunity to use our resources and marketing reach to help this great charity." This partnership serves as the landmark for a new program, "Charitable Contributions," that PlugInGo.com has implemented in an effort to give back to the community.
