Wendy's customers who purchase a beverage will find an exclusive Snapcode on their drink cups, which can be scanned to unlock a custom Snapchat filter to enhance the moment. Then they can use the special filter to send that photo or video to a friend or post it to their Snapchat Story. Thanks to contributions from Wendy's partners at Coca-Cola® and Dr Pepper®, each snap shared will translate into a $5 donation to the DTFA up to $500,000. By using this Snapcode, customers are not only posting a fun moment, but also spreading awareness around the needs of children in foster care.

Raising awareness for this cause is part of Wendy's deeply rooted commitment to family. This partnership with Snapchat, Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper, is one of the many initiatives that Wendy's supports to live out this commitment and place children into loving and permanent homes.
