Looking for a charitable donation?
We love to give back to the communities that support us!
While we wish we could give to every organization that reaches out to us, we get asked daily (sometimes multiple times per day) to donate. We reserve our cash and in-kind donations (food and gift cards) to our many regular customers. If you don't have a personal relationship with us yet, we'd love to meet you! Come in and say hello whenever you're in the area. A fundraiser is a great option for us to start building a relationship!
Here’s how we can help you fundraise for causes that mean the most to you:
Overview
We pick a date and time together for your fundraising event
You tell your friends, family + coworkers to come in to support your cause! 20% of all in-person gift cards sales in your selected location will be donated to your cause.
Your Responsibility:
-Spreading the word!
-It’s up to you to pack the house! We’ll outline a detailed marketing plan as a guideline for you to follow to make your event a success
-Make it fun!
-Set up a table on the day of your event for additional donations, raffles and information. The more you’re present and engaged with people who visit the Deli, the more likely you are to receive more gift card sales!
Our Responsibility:
Serving up delicious food to your supporters
Making sure we’re appropriately staffed - we call in extra team members to make sure your event runs smoothly
Cutting a check! We can’t wait to make a donation to your cause.
