To honor National Foster Care Month, Wendy’s, The Coca-Cola Company and Keurig Dr Pepper are committed to Making a Biggie Difference for the more than one hundred thousand children in foster care who are waiting for a permanent home and loving family.

With every QR code scan of Wendy’s cold beverage cups this May, $5 will be donated to help the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption further its mission of increasing the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems.

Additionally, on National Foster Care Day, Tuesday, May 7, Wendy’s will reduce delivery and service fees to $0 on all in-app delivery orders to make it as easy as possible to get cups in hand and scanned.

Finally, all-month, customers can use the free any size Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper drink with purchase in-app offer when placing an in-app delivery, dine-in or carry-out order by logging in or creating a Wendy’s Rewards account in the Wendy’s app or on Wendys.com. 

Wendy’s makes support of foster care adoption easy. Simply sip, scan and support:  

  • Sip: Order your favorite Coca-Cola® or Dr Pepper® beverage from Wendy’s.
  • Scan: Find the QR code on your cold beverage cup and scan using a smartphone camera app.
  • Support: Every scan unlocks a $5 donation from Wendy’s, up to $500,000, to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
