Harris Teeter integrates North Carolina Controlled Substance Reporting System across its pharmacies in North Carolina

Matthews, N.C., 2018-Mar-06 — /EPR Retail News/ — Harris Teeter announced today (Mar. 01, 2018) enhancements to its North Carolina pharmacy operations. Harris Teeter Pharmacies across North Carolina can now instantly review a patient’s controlled substance use through the State’s Prescription Monitoring Program, known as the North Carolina Controlled Substance Reporting System (“NCCSRS”).

“With the opioid crisis our state and nation are facing, this is an important and exciting tool that our pharmacists in North Carolina can now use to instantly access the prescription drug monitoring program data and ultimately help deter prescription drug abuse,” said Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of the NC Department of Health and Human Services. “Our thanks to Harris Teeter for joining this potentially life-saving effort at no cost to the state.”

Integration allows busy pharmacists the ability to quickly review patient data within their workflow to prevent the abuse and misuse of controlled substance medications. Immediate access to prescription drug monitoring programs within the pharmacy workflow puts the best information and insights available into the hands of our pharmacists to ensure the safety of our patients and to comply with state and federal regulations.

Harris Teeter operates 110 pharmacies throughout its home state of North Carolina; the company also partners with local law enforcement to host annual “Take Back” programs in select stores, where shoppers are encouraged to return unused or expired medications to their Harris Teeter pharmacy.

Harris Teeter the 2017 recipient of the USO of North Carolina’s Teer Award

Company’s Commitment to Serving Military Members, Families Honored at Annual Gala

Matthews, N.C., 2017-Nov-13 — /EPR Retail News/ — This Veteran’s Day, Harris Teeter announces the company’s recent honor of being named the 2017 recipient of the USO of North Carolina’s Teer Award which was presented during the USO of North Carolina’s annual Salute to Freedom gala. USO of NC President and CEO, John Falkenbury, also announced the company’s induction into the prestigious Chairman’s Leadership Circle.

The Teer Award – named in honor of Mr. Robert Teer, the “founding father” of the USO of NC RDU Center, is presented annually to a community business that shows outstanding commitment to assisting in the mission of the USO of NC.

For six consecutive years, Harris Teeter has partnered with the USO by hosting Support Our Troops – a point of sale, register campaign, throughout each of its stores. Each May, Harris Teeter shoppers are invited to make a $1, $3 or $5 donation at checkout. Since 2012, Support Our Troops has raised over $4.6 million. In 2017 alone, the in-store campaign raised $1 million. Over $525,000 was raised in North Carolina and will directly benefit USO of NC.

Harris Teeter extends sincere thanks to its generous shoppers and valued associates who are directly responsible for the success of the annual campaign.

“Without the generosity of our loyal shoppers and valued associates combined with the diligent support of our USO partners, this campaign would not be possible,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “We are extremely proud of the impact this year’s $1 million campaign will have on our American service members and their families.”

“The USO of North Carolina was honored to present Harris Teeter with the 2017 Teer Award at our 13th annual Salute to Freedom Gala,” said John Falkenbury, president of the USO of North Carolina. “Harris Teeter’s commitment to supporting our military goes well beyond the one- month Support Our Troops campaign. Throughout the year, we continually work together on projects and events that help, not just our military, but the entire community. That’s what partners do for each other. Their support is unmatched, and we are so grateful for the generosity of the entire Harris Teeter team and all Harris Teeter associates and shoppers that contribute year after year.”

In addition to receiving the Teer Award, Harris Teeter was also inducted into the Chairman’s Leadership Circle, the foundation for Leadership Giving for the USO of North Carolina. Harris Teeter is the first and only member of this prestigious group which serves as partners in connecting American service members to their families, home and country, throughout the duration of their service to the nation.

Company Thanks Customers and Associates for Generous Participation during Support Our Troops Campaign 

Matthews, NC, 2017-Jul-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — Harris Teeter announced today (July 3, 2017) it is donating $1 Million to the USO, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting America’s service members and their families. The donation was made possible through generous contributions from Harris Teeter shoppers and valued associates during the Company’s sixth annual Support Our Troops donation card campaign.

Harris Teeter hosted the campaign throughout the month of May, inviting shoppers to donate $1, $3 or $5 at checkout.  The $1 Million donation brings the total amount donated through Support Our Troops since the campaign’s inception in 2012 to over $4.6 million.

“Harris Teeter is overwhelmed by the extreme generosity our valued associates and loyal shoppers continuously show to the USO,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “We are proud to partner with this incredible organization to show support of our brave servicemen and women, as well as their families.”

One-hundred percent of all funds collected during the campaign will be allocated to local USO chapters throughout the areas in which Harris Teeter does business.

Harris Teeter to present $1 million to USO through its Support Our Troops Donation Card Campaign

Company to Present Check to USO

Matthews, NC, 2017-Jun-21 — /EPR Retail News/ —

Date: Friday, June 23, 2017

Time: 11:30 a.m.

Location: Morrocroft Village Harris Teeter – 6701 Morrison Blvd., Charlotte, N.C. 28211

Friday, June 23, 2017, Harris Teeter will present the USO with a $1 million check to help support our nation’s service members, as well as their families.

This donation is made possible by the success of Harris Teeter’s Support Our Troops Donation Card Campaign. For the fifth consecutive year, Harris Teeter invited its shoppers and associates to donate $1, $3 or $5 at checkout for the USO, an organization strengthening America’s service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. This year, Harris Teeter associates and shoppers answered the call by joining together to raise $1 million.

One-hundred percent of funds raised benefit the local USO chapter of the store where the donation was made. In fact, the stores in Harris Teeter’s home state of North Carolina raised more than $525,000 to directly benefit USO of North Carolina – the largest single donation the organization has ever received.

“We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our loyal shoppers and valued associates. Without them, this donation would not be possible,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter.

“Over the last five years the Support Our Troops campaign, which is driven through the generosity of Harris Teeter’s customers and the hard work of their associates, has raised over $1.5 million across North Carolina communities served by Harris Teeter,” said John Falkenbury, President of the USO of North Carolina. “Those dollars enable us to provide critical resiliency programs and support operations that connect our men and women to their families, home and the nation. Their support helps us save and shape lives after 14 years of combat operations and deployments around the globe. ”

The check presentation will occur at the Morrocroft Village Harris Teeter, as a special thank you to the store’s associates and customers who helped raise more than $17,000, the highest donation collected out of all Harris Teeter locations.

Company Contributes Over $3 Million Since 2012 to the USO

Matthews, NC, 2017-May-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — Monday, May 1, Harris Teeter will launch its sixth annual Support Our Troops donation card campaign. The campaign, which benefits the USO, will run in stores throughout the month of May in honor of Military Appreciation Month and 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.

Harris Teeter shoppers and associates will be invited to make $1, $3 or $5 donations to Support Our Troops at checkout, or during their ExpressLane online order. The company gives 100 percent of these donations directly to the USO to help connect America’s service members and their families to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. The USO acts as an extended family for our nation’s military by delivering valuable programs, morale-boosting services, engaging entertainment and a touch of home through more than 200 locations worldwide.

“Harris Teeter is proud to partner with the USO to show support of our brave servicemen and women, as well as their families,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “We are thankful for the involvement of our valued associates and loyal shoppers who continuously support the good works of the USO.”

In 2016, the Support Our Troops campaign raised nearly $800,000 to benefit our service men and women; bringing the total donated to more than $3.6 million since 2012.

About the USO

The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. At hundreds of locations worldwide, we are united in our commitment to connect our service members and their families through countless acts of caring, comfort, and support.

Matthews, N.C., 2016-Nov-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — Beginning November 1, 2016, Harris Teeter will continue its annual Harvest Feast Food Drive and Donation Card Campaign to aid local hunger-relief efforts. Throughout the entire month of November, Harris Teeter will collect non-perishable food items in the lobby of each location and sell $1, $5 and $20 donation cards at check-out to benefit its hunger-relief partners.

In November 2015, the Harvest Feast campaign collected $481,000, producing more than 10.5 million* meals for those facing hunger. The Company hopes to raise even more money during this year’s campaign as, according to Feeding America, one in every eight Americans struggle with hunger. Since 2005, this campaign has raised more than $3.9 million.

“We are continuously overwhelmed by the generosity of our valued associates and shoppers who help us provide millions of meals to our community members-in-need each year,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “Fighting hunger is Harris Teeter’s number one giving priority, so we are proud to offer our associates and shoppers an easy way to fight local hunger by purchasing a donation card at our registers or taking advantage of our everyday low prices to purchase food for donation.”

This year, Harris Teeter is partnering with 19 agencies throughout its marketing areas. These agencies work year-round to fight hunger.  Both Harris Teeter’s food bank and food pantry partners are assigned stores within their service areas.

“It is important to remind our shoppers that every dollar or food item they donate at their Harris Teeter will go directly to serving hungry families within their community,” said Robinson.

The success of Harris Teeter’s Harvest Feast campaign hinges on the generosity of its loyal shoppers and valued associates. No donation is too big or small, and Harris Teeter hopes for continued participation again in 2015.

As part of this year’s Harvest Feast programming, Harris Teeter will also be hosting four separate bag packing events to provide 8,000 families-in-need with a complete Thanksgiving meal.
