“The Cheesecake Factory is committed to giving back to our communities around the country and we are so pleased to be serving our 16th annual Thanksgiving Day Feast,” said David Overton, Founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated. “We’re 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.
