Connecticut Eatery Donating All Sales For A Day To Charity
Support local charities by grabbing a meal from Jersey Mike's in Connecticut on March 31.
CONNECTICUT — The Connecticut Jersey Mike's Subs stores are donating 100 percent of sales to local charities on Wednesday.
The effort is part of the sandwich franchise chain's Month of Giving, which has raised $32 million for local charities since 2011. Jersey Mike's hopes to shatter its own record and raise more than $8 million this year, it said in a news release.
Jersey Mike’s has been taking donations all month for selected charities. "All sales from all locations" will be donated on Wednesday, the company said. Owners will even donate their money to the cause so that every dollar that flows in on Wednesday will go to charity.
