NORWICH – November is National Hospice Month and Mirabito Convenience Stores have partnered with Hospice of Chenango County to raise money. Throughout the month, all Mirabito Convenience Stores, including Quickway and Convenience Express locations, are selling “Hugs” for one dollar.

To help increase sales, Mirabito is awarding 100 Rewards Plus Bonus Points per hug to anybody who purchases a hug. Once a customer reaches 250 points, the points can be redeemed at the pump for cents off per gallon of gas. Mirabito stores are located throughout Chenango County, as well as in eight other counties that are also participating in this fundraiser.

“We are honored to partner with an organization like Hospice and hope to raise a lot of money with this fundraiser,” said Lindsay Meehan, Marketing and Communications Director for Mirabito Holdings, Inc. “Last year in Chenango County, we sold 1,311 Hugs,” she says. “This year we are already over 2,050 and we still have a week and a half to go.” Meehan hopes the stores in all nine counties will top 25,000 Hugs for Hospice.
