America’s Favorite Restaurant Teams With America’s Largest Domestic Hunger-Relief Charity

Sharing a common goal, The Cheesecake Factory® is proud to be continuing its partnership with Feeding America. They invite everyone to help achieve their goal of donating 3.5 Million Meals in support of Hunger Action Month. To help spread the cause, The Cheesecake Factory ties up with the American Idols Live Tour cast in promoting the hunger-relief initiative.

By going to the “Fight Hunger campaign” website, one will see the idols in an introduction video inviting everyone to take part in the campaign by doing one of 5 things or all (see video below):

1. Pledge Money » Your contribution makes a difference; Just $1 helps provide 7 meals to those in need.

2. Pledge Food » Feeding America feeds more than 37 million people, yet 49 million people are at risk of hunger. Help us close the gap.

3. Pledge Time » Find your local Feeding America food bank and learn how you can help.

4. Write Congress » Taking a stand can mean sharing your voice, raising awareness, and rallying for change.

5. Tell A Friend » Getting other people involved can really make a difference. Share Your Voice to spread the word.
