It’s Not Too Late to Give Back
Through December 31, Walgreens is collaborating with Mental Health America to bring people together with their virtual ‘Swear Jar.’ The Swear Jar gives people the opportunity to find the bright spot in real-life moments of frustration that make them want to yell out “oh humbug!” and turn them into donations that provide support and resources to those facing mental health challenges.
To show its commitment to support and wellbeing for all, Walgreens has made a one-time $500,000 donation and is matching every dollar donated to Mental Health America via the ‘Swear Jar,’ up to an additional $500,000 through December 31.* In partnership with our customers, we hope to donate up to $1.5 million.
Customers who wish to donate to the ‘Swear Jar’ are encouraged to visit mhanational.org/swearjar and can donate any dollar amount.
