TO: All Potential Volunteers and Bulk Pre Order Customers

The 25th Annual Hardee’s “Rise and Shine® for Heat,” is scheduled for Friday, February 14, 2025, during breakfast hours. It’s one of our most critical fundraisers, especially with the live-roadblocks by all of the area radio and television stations. Each year hundreds of business, civic, religious, media and political volunteers come out as Official Greeters at various local Hardee’s units for at least 1 hour ONLY, (they can and do volunteer longer) and welcome the customers at the drive-thrus, menu board, and parking lots. You can warm up in your car or inside of the safe Hardee’s dining room. Also  Last year, Hardee’s “Rise and Shine® for Heat” had lots of volunteers. In addition, they accepted extra donations from the public. Our special Canister Collection and pre-pre-order campaign started on January 1, and goes into February.  Hardee’s offers a Sausage biscuit or Egg Biscuit Sandwich for the special price of $1.00, and 100% of all sales proceeds go to Heat-Up St. Louis and its partners. 

As an official “greeter,” it has been quite rewarding to see a warm glow on the faces of the Hardee’s customers, and neighbors making a difference. Official greeters have been very successful in obtaining additional donations from the customers. The word “official” includes all types of people and groups as volunteers for this grassroots morning effort. This is also a media and political neutral event. 

All VOLUNTEERS will receive: Hardee’s a souvenir apron with money-pockets, instructions, your time frame, complimentary breakfast coupon and unit location. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Tim or Gentry at 314-241-0001.  You can complete the form above and SUBMIT electronically. We encourage you to spread out. If a group volunteering is volunteering only 1 hour on Friday, February 14 between 6-10 A.M.

Bulk PRE-ORDERS: Some companies annually work with their respective Hardee’s manager to obtain pre-sale sandwich orders for their staff. To do pre-order forms only, you can SUBMIT this using the electronic form linked above. The deadline to pre-order is February 13, 2025 by 12 Noon. You can eat and Pre-order as often as you wish!

Bulk Pre-orders are 25 or more of either or both products.

We look forward again to the unilateral support of the community. Please sign up early! Remember, Every Red Cent Helps Heat-Up St. Louis in Illinois and Missouri.
