For every slice of Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake sold
this year, The Cheesecake Factory will donate 25 cents to Feeding
America®, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to
fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. Over the last
eight years The Cheesecake Factory has donated more than $4 million to
Feeding America through the sale of its specially designated cheesecakes.
The Cheesecake Factory’s Pumpkin Cheesecake is a creamy cheesecake baked
in a graham-cracker crust and topped with fresh whipped cream. The
Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake is the best of both worlds, combining a layer
of pecan pie with a layer of pumpkin cheesecake finished with caramel
and pecans all in a flakey pastry crust.
“Our guests look forward to Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake
returning to our menu every year and we’re so pleased to offer them in
September this year in honor of Hunger Action Month,” said David
Overton, Founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory. “The Cheesecake
Factory is proud of our ongoing relationship with Feeding America and
we’re delighted that our very popular Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan
Cheesecakes will benefit them.”
The Cheesecake Factory’s support of Feeding America is one of several
programs that it has initiated to support hunger-relief in America. The
company’s staff members nationwide participate in an annual Peanut
Butter Drive during September’s Hunger Action Month™ to benefit local
Feeding America food banks. In 2015, The Cheesecake Factory’s generous
staff members collected more than 180,000 pounds of peanut butter, and
they are currently hard at work collecting peanut butter for this year’s
drive. The company also participates in a nationwide Harvest Food
Donation Program by regularly donating fresh food from its restaurants
to local food rescue operations for distribution to soup kitchens and
shelters to aid those in need. Since the program’s inception in 2007,
The Cheesecake Factory has donated more than 3.8 million pounds of food.
