Franchises Fighting Hunger
Local and national Mimi's Cafe locations (MimisCafe.com) are offering customers turkey feasts to go this Thanksgiving, as well as dine-in options ($16.99 for adults, $8.99 for kids). For every Family Feast ($89.99, serves six to eight) purchased, Mimi's Cafe will send four meals to children in need through its partnership with the Children's Hunger Fund, a nonprofit that has distributed more than $1 billion worth of food and other aid to needy and hungry children. The Family Feast includes herb-butter-basted turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, candied pecan sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, brown-sugar-topped pumpkin muffins and pumpkin pie.
Meanwhile, through the end of November, Salt Lake City Krispy Kreme (KrispyKreme.com) locations will hold a canned food drive to benefit the Utah Food Bank. Krispy Kreme stores will serve as collection points for canned food and other non-perishable items. For each food item donated, guests will receive one free original glazed doughnut.
