The clock has struck midnight to swing us over into August and just like that, back-to-school content is on the brain. A time to mourn the summer fun you’ve had and prepare for the chaos that is about to ensue. No matter how hard you try, you’re bound to fall behind. Two truly unexpected companies are teaming up to try to help make things just a smidge easier for you in the coming months.

Welch’s x TaskRabbit
How did Welch’s Fruit Snacks and TaskRabbit meet? I wish I knew. All I know is they did and it’s to your benefit. In an attempt to help families tackle their back-to-school to-do lists and reclaim valuable time together before summer ends, Welch’s Fruit Snacks and TaskRabbit are giving away $150 worth of TaskRabbit services.
Beginning at 12PM ET on August 6th, Welch’s Fruit Snacks is offering families a “Homework Pass” on their site WelchsFruitSnacks.com/HomeworkPass. The Homework Pass is a Taskrabbit credit to book a local Tasker to take on back-to-school to-dos like organizing supplies or turning your pantry into an after-school snack zone. Redemption codes are valued at $150 and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis for the first 1,000 households. There’s a limit of one per customer.
Companies Work In Mysterious Ways
Now, I’m not saying that Welch’s Fruit Snacks shouldn’t give away free money. In fact, I’m 100% pro corporations doing so―the more the merrier. It’s just that the justification on this is a bit of a stretch for me. I get that Welch’s fruit snacks are heavily tied into the school experience. Capitalizing on the back-to-school energy does make sense when you stop to think about it.
So hey, if they want to do it then I’ll let them do it. They seem to feel strongly about it too. Danielle Dexter, Senior Director of Integrated Marketing and Communications at PIM Brands Inc., makers of Welch’s Fruit Snacks had this to say about the upcoming promotion. “We’re thrilled to partner with Taskrabbit to help parents reclaim some of that time. We hope families use their ‘Homework Pass’ to swap a task for a memory, whether that’s one more beach day, a spontaneous outing, or simply extra time spent together, with Welch’s Fruit Snacks along for the ride, of course.”
More power to you, Welch’s Fruit Snacks. And us, faithful reader. Go out there and get that free money!
