Matthews, N.C. – Harris Teeter announced today the launch of its annual Support USO – For the People Who Serve Round Up Campaign to benefit the USO. Now, through June 29 Harris Teeter shoppers are invited to round up their transactions to the nearest whole dollar at checkout; 100% of funds raised will be donated to local USOs throughout Harris Teeter’s marketing areas. The campaign is held in support of active duty military and their families, as well as wounded service members, those transitioning back to civilian life, and families of the fallen.
