BINGHAMTON – Mirabito announced its support Wednesday of the Salvation Army’s "Red Kettle Campaign," launching Monday, December 2, at the Mirabito Convenience Store at 33 South Washington Street in Binghamton.

Each Monday leading up to Christmas, Mirabito employees and volunteers will be “ringing the bell” at this location, collecting donations to provide critical support for local families in need this holiday season. As a thank-you, Mirabito will give a free coffee coupon to everyone who donates in person on December 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd.

To expand the campaign’s reach, every Mirabito convenience store will also feature a QR code for easy donations, available both in-store and at the pump. Each donation will benefit local chapters of the Salvation Army, directly aiding nearby communities.

To launch the campaign, Mirabito is hosting a special Kick-Off Day on December 2nd with a flash fuel discount from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at 33 South Washington Street in Binghamton. Community members are encouraged to visit during this time to take advantage of the discounted fuel and enjoy the free coffee coupon offered to all in-person donors.
