Thanksgiving for Free
In celebration of its fifth annual Free Thanksgiving, Ibotta will help provide 1 million meals* to Feeding America®
DENVER, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ibotta, Inc. (NYSE: IBTA), the leading technology company providing digital promotions and performance marketing solutions, today announced additional benefits for consumers eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). According to Pew Research, as of April 2023 more than 40 million people in the U.S. received SNAP benefits. Through Ibotta’s SNAP Rewards, eligible Savers get access to new exclusive offers every month including 100 percent cash back on the ingredients for their Thanksgiving meal.
This marks the fifth year Ibotta will provide Savers the opportunity to earn cash back rewards on Thanksgiving staples no matter how they celebrate. Over the past four years, Ibotta’s Thanksgiving program has fed more than 11 million people in America with items available in the Ibotta app. This year Savers can partake in ‘Thanksgiving Your Way’. New Savers and SNAP-eligible users can pick and choose their offers based on their personal preferences, no turkey required*. This year’s bundle is valued between $25 and $27 in cash back rewards when all eligible items are purchased.
“Alleviating food insecurity is a mission near and dear to our hearts at Ibotta, which is why we work tirelessly to provide our Savers the best offers on an assortment of seasonal favorites,” said Rich Donahue, Chief Marketing Officer at Ibotta. “Our work to benefit SNAP-eligible users has been in the works for a while now and we are so happy it will be available to Savers during the holidays, starting with their Thanksgiving meal. We are also proud to make a financial commitment to Feeding America to help even more families put food on the table this season.”
Nearly 50% of people facing hunger are unlikely to qualify for SNAP. To ensure everyone has access to the food and resources they need to thrive, Ibotta is partnering with Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States. From November 1 through November 27, Ibotta will help provide one meal** to Feeding America for the first redemption every Ibotta user makes, up to 1 million meals. Click here to learn more.
