AMARILLO, Texas (KCBD) – Toot\u2019n Totum Food Stores announced the launch of its \u201cChange for the Better\u201d campaign, a guest-driven fundraising effort to help families across the Texas Panhandle who have lost homes and livelihoods to the recent wildfires. From Friday, May 22 through Saturday, June 7, guests at all Toot\u2019n Totum locations and Mitch\u2019s BBQ restaurants will be invited to round up their purchase to the next full dollar at checkout \u2014 both inside the store and at the pump. 100% of the difference between the purchase amount and the rounded-up amount will be donated to the Amarillo Area Foundation\u2019s Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund and directed to neighbors affected by the fires. <\/p>\n
When fires swept across the area in recent weeks, Toot\u2019n Totum jumped in to support first responders \u2014 providing fuel for fire trucks, water for firefighters working the lines, and hot meals from our Wendy\u2019s and Mitch\u2019s BBQ kitchens to crews returning from long shifts. \u201cChange for the Better\u201d carries that work forward and invites the community to be part of it.<\/p>\n
The Amarillo Area Foundation established the Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund in 2006, originally in response to area wildfires, and has used it ever since to deliver aid to families and first responders affected by disasters across the region. Funds raised through \u201cChange for the Better\u201d will support both immediate response \u2014 shelter, food, clothing \u2014 and longer-term recovery for households rebuilding after the fires. <\/p>\n
Guests simply agree when prompted at checkout \u2014 inside the store or at the pump \u2014 at any Toot\u2019n Totum Food Store or Mitch\u2019s BBQ location between May 22 and June 7, 2026. 100% of the difference between the purchase amount and the rounded-up amount goes to the Amarillo Area Foundation\u2019s Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund.<\/p>\n
