The AES Foundation is excited to announce their inaugural Day of Giving is coming to the Charleston-Huntington area. The Day of Giving was created to give back to the communities in which AES Restaurant Group employees work and live, and this year, they would like to award up to $100,000 to non-profit organizations throughout the Charleston-Huntington area.

Throughout the year, customers across the AES footprint can round up or donate funds to non-profit organizations. Locally, AES Restaurant Group owns and operates twenty area Arby’s locations. Because of the generosity of their customers, the AES Foundation will award gifts to as many as 10 charities to equal $100,000 on the Day of Giving.

The Inaugural Day of Giving will be held on Sunday, February 18th at the Arby’s location at 4905 US 60 East in Huntington. AES representatives and local Arby’s team members will award multiple local non-profit organizations donations for a total of $100,000! The winning charities

will be chosen based on their applications, impact on the community, alignment with the Arby’s values, and fiscal responsibility.

To be considered for this award, organizations should visit the AES Foundation website at www.aesfoundation.com and click the DAY OF GIVING tab. They can also scan the QR code provided. Applications must be received by Monday, February 5, 2024, for consideration. Organizations will receive the award during the Day of Giving Event on Sunday, February 18th.
