Pepsi Vending Program

Since 2014, this program has raised over $465,000 (*As of July 2026) 

for our local neighbors in need!

HOW IT WORKS

By choosing to drink Pepsi products from specially marked United Way machines, you can pay it forward with a donation to United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore!

By offering products purchased from specially designated vending machines, Pepsi will donate a portion of dollars per case to UWLES. Currently, this program covers 20 oz bottles priced at $2.00, Gatorade priced at $2.50 and Celsius & Starbucks energy drinks priced between $3.25-$3.50. Pepsi will donate $7.20 per case to UWLES.

Proceeds stay local and will help meet critical needs in the communities we live and work in.
