“The Cheesecake Factory is committed to giving back to our

thankful to our staff members who volunteer time out of their busy
holiday schedules every year to provide a hot meal to thousands of
families and individuals in need.”
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. Since the program’s
inception in 2007, The Cheesecake Factory has donated more than 4.3
million pounds of food. Additionally, since 2008 The Cheesecake
Factory has donated more than $4 million to Feeding America®, the
nation’s largest organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger
through a network of food banks.
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 jars of
peanut butter to benefit local Feeding America food banks. Since
2008, The Cheesecake Factory’s staff members have donated more than
1.3 million pounds of peanut butter to the Feeding America network
of food banks.
