Grilled cheese and tomato soup (and grilled cheese donut) chain Tom & Chee is giving back the the community when patrons order online carry-out, curbside pick-up or dine-in for Wednesday, Aug. 5.
The chain's One Day Online Fundraising campaign will donate 20% of all curbside pick-up, carry-out and dine-in sales preordered online before the fundraiser date to the selected nonprofit partner for that day. Orders placed online the day of the fundraiser will generate a 15% donation.
The partner for Wednesday, Aug. 5 is Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank.
According to a release, Sweet Cheeks was founded in 2015 by native Megan Fischer "after she learned that diapers were not covered by any social services programs and that parents might attempt to clean and re-use disposable diapers or items like plastic bags in their place."
Since April 2016, Sweet Cheeks has distributed more than 4 million clean diapers to children and parents in need as Cincinnati's only diaper bank.
"Nonprofits across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are working tirelessly to support our communities," reads a release from Tom & Chee. "The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and rise in awareness regarding the issues affecting many of our underserved communities both locally and nationwide led Tom & Chee to create a fundraising initiative to help these organizations through this extraordinary time in our history."
Get more details and preorder at tomandchee.com/fundraising. Orders must be placed online to be part of the fundraiser.
Tom & Chee has four area locations: 125 E. Court St., Downtown; 1 Levee Way, Newport on the Levee, Newport; 7578 Beechmont Ave., Anderson; and 9328 Union Centre Blvd., West Chester.
