Even Stevens Feeds 1 Million
Salt Lake City-based "craft-casual restaurant" Even Stevens will donate their one millionth sandwich this month—a major milestone to say the least. The restaurant donates one sandwich for every one sold to one of their partnering nonprofit organizations in Utah, Arizona and Idaho. "Every sandwich donated reflects the love and passion of our team members who create memorable experiences for our guests," founder Steve Down says in a press release. "For our success, I will forever thank for our guests, community partners and the team members who live the 'eat to give' philosophy every day." Since opening the first Even Stevens in 2014, the company now donates more than 10,000 sandwiches each month within each of their markets. As their slogan claims, this truly is "a sandwich shop with a cause."
