TooJay's and Feeding Florida have announced a new partnership in recognition of Hunger Awareness Month that will help to support those in need throughout September.
The partnership will see every slice of TooJay's signature Banana Dream Cake sold helping to support Feeding Florida with one dollar donated to hunger relief initiatives by the organization. Diners can take part in the initiative by making a purchase at any of the brand's 20 locations for enjoyment in-store or for takeout. The initiative comes as part of the brand's expansion of its partnership with Feeding Florida to help further the socially beneficial cause.
CEO Mark Kirke commented on the TooJay's and Feeding Florida partnership saying, "We are proud of our multi-year partnership supporting Feeding Florida and the 10 network member food banks in 67 counties throughout the state. This is part of our ongoing commitment to the communities we serve.”
