by Catherine James, VP Marketing and Brand Strategy

April 22, 2020 -  Greenville Federal Credit Union announced today that it is sponsoring “Dinner on Us”, a four-week giveaway program taking place in April and May, in partnership with GVLToday.  Each week for four weeks, one random winner will be drawn to receive five $100 gift cards to five local restaurants of their choosing ($500 total value per winner). 

As local restaurants all across Greenville County are struggling to stay afloat amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, “Dinner on Us” offers a much-needed spotlight while they await their return to full-service operations. 

“Almost daily, the credit union hears about the challenges our small businesses are facing, and local restaurants have been hit especially hard by social distancing,” said Paul Hughes, CEO of Greenville Federal Credit Union.  “We wanted to find a way to provide support in a unique and impactful way. As a foodie town, we know that Greenvillians are fiercely loyal to the restaurants they love and will rally to help promote and support them.”

The giveaway, administered by GVLToday, will be hosted on Instagram each week for four weeks.  Anyone can enter by tagging their five favorite local restaurants and a friend in the weekly post and following the credit union.  The winner will be announced the following week and will receive $500 in gift cards. 20 restaurants will receive support through gift card sales, and multiple restaurants will be promoted over the course of the contest.

“Dinner on Us” winners can use those gift cards to order take-out, delivery – or even donate them to healthcare workers or a family in need. 

“Since 1968 our credit union has been committed to serving the Greenville community in as many ways as we can,” continued Hughes. “We hope these gift cards will provide some joy for the winners, which perhaps they will share with others, as well as a much-needed boost for the restaurants that get featured.”
