According to new research commissioned by Welch's Fruit Snacks, 77% of parents with school-aged children wish they had more time with their kids before the school year begins, so the brand teamed up with Taskrabbit to offer families a Homework Pass. From stocking up on supplies and setting a new schedule to updating wardrobes, families have long to-do lists to set up for the successful start of a new school year, and Welch's Fruit Snacks and Taskrabbit aim to help kids and parents reclaim the last days of summer. With a Homework Pass, families can use Taskrabbit credit to book a local Tasker to tackle back-to-school to-do list items, like turning a pantry into an after-school snack zone.
As part of the campaign, Welch's Fruit Snacks and Taskrabbit are giving away redemption codes valued at $150 on a first-come, first-served basis for the first 1,000 households.
