GiftAMeal, an innovative cause-marketing program, has announced a new partnership with The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. The collaboration, which began in July, aims to combat hunger and support local communities by turning customer photos into meals for those in need. The program has been rolled out at 10 locations of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, with plans to expand to all 61 locations across the country within the coming year.
Through this partnership, guests at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill can contribute to their community while enjoying the restaurant's offerings. The process is simple: guests scan a QR code displayed at the restaurant and take a photo of their meal. For every photo taken, a restaurant-funded donation is made to a local food bank, providing a meal to a family in need. This initiative aligns with The Great Greek's commitment to serving bold flavors and fresh ingredients, prepared daily from family recipes.
Chuck McAulay, Vice President of Marketing at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Our partnership with GiftAMeal is a meaningful initiative that allows our guests to easily participate in aiding those who face food insecurity, serving our communities from the comfort of their dining experience. We are thrilled for our guests to be able to do good while eating well."
GiftAMeal recently celebrated a significant milestone, surpassing two million meals donated through its platform. The collaboration with The Great Greek is expected to contribute significantly to this growing impact. Andrew Glantz, Founder & CEO of GiftAMeal, emphasized the importance of the partnership, saying, "Our partnership with The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill is about furthering the GiftAMeal mission to redefine the dining experience by infusing every meal with a sense of purpose. By serving the greater good and fostering philanthropic initiatives, we cannot wait to see the positive impact on the communities surrounding each Great Greek location."
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill's participating locations include Rancho Cucamonga, CA; The Colony, TX; Skyhouse-Orlando, FL; Maitland, FL; Atlanta, GA; Roswell, GA; Friendswood, TX; Shelby Township, MI; Tampa, FL; and Tigard, OR. The partnership is expected to create a ripple effect of positive change, turning shared dining moments into tangible support for those facing food insecurity.
This partnership is significant as it highlights the potential for businesses to make a meaningful impact on social issues. By integrating charitable giving into the dining experience, GiftAMeal and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill are setting an example for other companies to follow. The initiative not only addresses the immediate needs of families facing food insecurity but also fosters a sense of community and purpose among diners. As the program expands, it could inspire other restaurants and businesses to adopt similar models, amplifying efforts to combat hunger on a larger scale.
The collaboration between GiftAMeal and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill underscores the importance of innovative solutions in addressing food insecurity. By leveraging technology and customer engagement, the partnership offers a scalable model for making a lasting impact on local communities. The success of this initiative could pave the way for future partnerships, furthering the mission to provide meals to those in need and fostering a culture of giving.
