MATTHEWS, N.C., April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Harris Teeter announced today the launch of its annual Support Our Troops Round Up Campaign to benefit the USO. Now through June 13, Harris Teeter shoppers are invited to round up their transaction to the nearest whole dollar at checkout; 100 percent of funds raised will be donated to local USO locations 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.
