Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Give!

It's still 'Hunger Action Month' and "Feeding America" is seemingly EVERYWHERE partnering with companies like The Cheesecake Factory with a campaign to 'Drive Out Hunger" here at home. The company has been busy doing just that with their tour of 30 cities in 30 days collecting cans of soup all along the way. They've held the charity events each day in a new city all month long and are still at it. Even better, the first 500 guests who attend and donate two cans of soup will recieve a complimentary slice of their famous Stefanie's Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake™ and other fun things for participating. Click here to chart the tour, see where they've been so far and where they're going next.

If you can't make it or have missed one of the 30 stops, you can still join in the effort. On September 30th, bring two cans of soup to any Cheesecake Factory restaurant and, on top of your donation, they'll donate 10% of your guest check to the local food bank. How cool is that?

Cheesecake Factory staff members across the country are also donating cans of soup to benefit local food banks as part of their 'Staff September Soup Drive.' Their goal is to collect 40,000 cans of soup through the effort.

Then on October 1st in Washingto D.C. they'll hold a big celebration, announce the final count and unveil a special tribute to everyone who donated.
