The Cheesecake Factory’s Thanksgiving Day Feast is sponsored by
its charitable foundation and will take place at select Salvation
Army locations coast to coast in Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami,
Phoenix, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. More than 6,000
low-income individuals and families will be treated to a
full-service, sit-down meal that includes freshly roasted turkey
with all the trimmings and The Cheesecake Factory’s famous seasonal
Pumpkin Cheesecake.
“The Cheesecake Factory values giving back to our communities
around the country and we are honored to be serving our 15th annual
Thanksgiving Day Feast,” said David Overton, Founder and CEO of The
Cheesecake Factory Incorporated. “We’re so thankful and
appreciative of our staff members who volunteer their precious time
on Thanksgiving to help us provide a special meal to the less
fortunate.”
In addition to enjoying a hot meal, invitees are once again able
to partake in various arts and crafts activities during the
Thanksgiving Day Feast. From creating festive fall-inspired
headbands and themed coloring pages to decorating tree trunks with
personal messages of thankfulness and well-wishes, these fun crafts
will add to each family’s memorable Thanksgiving experience.
The annual Thanksgiving Day Feast is one of several programs
that The Cheesecake Factory has initiated to help support
hunger-relief in America. The company also participates in a
nationwide Harvest Food Donation Program by regularly donating
fresh food from its restaurants to local food rescue operations for
distribution to soup kitchens and shelters to aid those in need.
Since the program’s inception in 2007, The Cheesecake Factory has
donated more than 3.9 million pounds of food. Additionally, The
Cheesecake Factory has donated nearly $4.4 million to Feeding
America®, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to fighting
domestic hunger through a network of food banks, through their
partnership over the past eight and a half years.
As additional support for Feeding America, The Cheesecake
Factory staff members nationwide participated in a Peanut Butter
Drive during September’s Hunger Action Month, collecting more than
225,000 pounds of peanut butter to benefit local Feeding America
food banks. Peanut butter is a crucial item for food banks,
supplying a protein-filled option for school lunches and meals for
families.
