In recognition of Hunger Action Month, for
every delivery order from The Cheesecake Factory® and Grand Lux
Cafe® placed on DoorDash in September, the company will donate one
meal to Feeding America®
Continuing its longstanding support of Feeding America®, The
Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE) will donate one
meal* to Feeding America for every order placed on DoorDash from
The Cheesecake Factory and Grand Lux Cafe restaurants across the
United States this September in recognition of Hunger Action
Month.
The September donation to Feeding America is just one of several
hunger-relief programs The Cheesecake Factory has initiated. For
every slice of its recently introduced Very Cherry Ghirardelli®
Chocolate Cheesecake sold through February 2019**, The Cheesecake
Factory will donate 25 cents to Feeding America. Since 2008, The
Cheesecake Factory has donated more than $4.3 million to Feeding
America through the sale of its specially designated cheesecakes.
Additionally, The Cheesecake Factory and Grand Lux Cafe staff
members across the country participate in an annual Peanut Butter
Drive during Hunger Action Month to benefit local Feeding America
food banks. In 2017, the Company’s generous staff members collected
more than 186,000 pounds of peanut butter, and they are currently
hard at work collecting for this year’s drive. 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
Incorporated has donated more than 4.7 million pounds of food.
“We are so pleased to support Feeding America with the donation
of a meal for every order placed on DoorDash during Hunger Action
Month,” said David Overton, Founder and CEO of The Cheesecake
Factory Incorporated. “Feeding America’s network of food banks does
such meaningful work in each of our restaurants’ communities, and
we are honored to support them.”
DoorDash is The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated’s exclusive
national delivery partner. To find a complete list of delivery

to Feeding America®. $1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by
Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks. Meal
