Background
In 2016, Dollar General and Kellogg Company partnered to donate more than $1 million worth of books to elementary schools across the country. The goal was to help students develop a love for reading and learning at an early age.
The partnership started when Dollar General approached Kellogg about donating some products from their food pantry program. As they were discussing this idea, they realized that both companies had similar priorities: helping others through charitable giving and providing opportunities for growth within communities. They decided that it would be beneficial for both parties if they worked together on another project as well!
Impact of the Partnership
The partnership between Dollar General and Kellogg Company has had a positive impact on local elementary schools. The donated books are being used by teachers to help students learn reading skills, as well as improve their knowledge of the world around them.
In addition to improving literacy rates in communities across America, this partnership has helped strengthen local economies by providing jobs for those who work at Dollar General stores or at Kellogg’s factories.

Corporate philanthropy is a great way for companies to give back to their communities. It can also help them in other ways, such as by improving their image and increasing brand loyalty.
In addition, corporate partnerships can lead to more donations from other companies or individuals who are inspired by the work of these organizations.
