Ever go to Wendy’s? If not, have you ever seen one? Chances are very good you said yes to one of those questions. When I first saw Wendy’s I wondered what Wendy (the girl) was smiling about.
I decided it was probably the Frosty, a yummy chocolate treat that I have had a love affair with since the 80s. I mean, I smile at least that big when I have one!
I went to Wendy’s this week and found a deal so good going on that it’s enough to make anyone smile.
Here’s the deal. Until October 31, 2014, if you visit your local participating Wendy’s® you can purchase a Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book for $1, while supplies last. The coupon book will contain coupons for 5 or 10 free Jr. Frosty™ treats, depending on the market you’re in. Coupons are valid from 11/1/14 through 2/1/15. I got 10 coupons in my book! Ten cents for a Frosty! Whoohoo! The deal is great, but here’s the best part about it. Ninety cents to every $1 coupon booklet sold between 9/15/14 and 10/31/14 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. In short, these coupons have the ability to help children in foster care find families.
I am a great believer in adoption. Adoption is a person’s way of choosing their child. After marrying my Mom, my Dad adopted me – part and parcel, bags and baggage (and there was a lot of that). He wanted us to know that we were family and that he wanted us as children and loved us. I am forever grateful that he loved us enough to do that. I can’t imagine how children in the foster care system must feel, and how much they must yearn for a permanent home and forever family.
For 22 years, Wendy’s® has supported foster care adoption. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® (DTFA) believes that we as people have a responsibility to be the voice of foster care adoption, so that every child finds a family. The primary goal of the DTFA is to help every child in foster care find a loving, permanent family. As founder Dave Thomas said, “These children are not someone else’s responsibility. They are our responsibility.” The DTFA exists to find homes for children who are waiting to be adopted from foster care in North America. Thanks to Wendy’s® consumers and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®, 4,000+ children have found adoptive families.
There are currently more than 100,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption. That is a staggering number. Here’s another staggering number. This year, Wendy’s® aims to give $10 million to The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. We can help them reach that goal by simply visiting a local Wendy’s® to purchase a Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book* for $1, which will in turn benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. The coupons are the perfect thing to give trick or treaters this year. At ten cents each they’re better then candy! They will last longer, taste yummy and support a good cause. Plus, if you have any left over you can use them yourself!
Will you be picking up some of the Wendy’s Jr. Frosty Halloween Coupon Book this year?

What a great cause! I love frosty’s!
That’s a great deal – I think that’s what we’ll be giving this year!
I will be picking up a book. I love Frosties and I think it is great what they are doing.
i had one today as i wanted to help the good cause.
I love the Wendy’s Frosty coupon book promo. You can’t beat 5 or 10 free Frosty coupons for a dollar, and it feels great to help such a worthy cause that has helped so many foster kids find loving homes.
I love your idea of giving the coupons out to trick or treaters on Halloween. If we’re being honest here, I have always ended up keeping my coupons for myself. Because I’m a great big stingy glutton when it comes to Wendy’s Frostys!
It sounds like you were very fortunate to have your dad in your life. 🙂 I will be picking up the books, absolutely. I think they’re awesome.
For $1 and yummy frostys, yes!
It’s a very good cause and worthy of our support. Every time I read a report on the number of kids in foster care who desire a permanent home, it breaks my heart. I’m glad Wendy’s stepped up.
this is a great cause! I will for sure stop by and pick up a few of those coupon books! Thanks for the post!
Yes.
