Psst, SJC! Here's How to Get Free Frosty Treats for the Year

By Renee Schiavone (Patch Staff)

Is saving money on your list of resolutions this year? Or perhaps you’re just a huge fan of Wendy’s famous Frosty Treat? If so, this may be the ticket to sweet success.

Wendy’s has launched its second annual National Frosty Key Tag Program— which will allow restaurant patrons to get a free treat every time they visit, after one initial purchase.

“For $1, Wendy’s customers can buy a Frosty Key Tag that gets them a free Jr. Frosty with every purchase during 2015, while supplies last,” a news release from Wendy’s states.

Ninety cents from every dollar will go to help find families for children in foster care via the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, according to Wendy’s.

Last year, more than $2.9 million was raised through the program via the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA).

“Started by Wendy’s Founder Dave Thomas, who was adopted himself, the DTFA works in communities across the U.S. and Canada to help dramatically increase the number of adoptions for children in foster care,” the news release says.

“At Wendy’s, we believe that every child deserves a family and have worked tirelessly to help children find loving homes,” said Liz Geraghty, Wendy’s vice president of marketing. “Right now, there are more than 100,000 children in foster care in the United States waiting to be adopted. The Frosty Key Tag Program gives our customers a chance to impact the lives of these children in their own communities, while enjoying Frosty treats all year long.”
