How TooJay’s is Fighting Hunger One Cake at a Time

Did you know that there’s a Hunger Awareness Month? With all the seasons and food holidays we spend, fast food restaurants have offered countless deals for us. From free deals to BOGO (buy one, get one), there’s something for every guest, but what about those who can’t spend a dime on food? This coming September, TooJay’s is stepping up, and they are also inviting their guests to do so. 

TooJay’s is donating $1 for every Banana Dream Cake slice sold in their Florida locations. All proceeds will go to Feeding Florida, the state’s leading hunger relief operations. A sweet treat with a cause? Now, that’s a dessert worth purchasing!

TooJay’s Banana Dream Cake is a fan-favorite dessert featuring a moist banana cake base, banana cream, and chocolate icing finished off with chocolate chips and walnuts. By availing of this treat, guests will have the perfect dessert experience with a sweet treat in hand while supporting Feeding Florida’s goal of ending hunger.

Starting in September, guests can purchase a slice of Banana Dream Cake, with each $1 proceeds to be donated to Feeding Florida. The purchase can be both in-store and online if guests opt for a pickup or delivery. TooJay’s restaurants are located in the areas of Palm Beach and Broward Counties, Treasure Coast, Orlando area, and The Villages. 

Don’t forget to mark your calendars to get a taste of TooJay’s Banana Dream Cake and donate to make someone smile!

Let’s Talk About Hunger Awareness Month

During Hunger Awareness Month, Feeding Florida pushes for measures in the national action to end hunger. They raise awareness of food insecurity and encourage people to take action in a way that is accessible to them. As such, the partnership with TooJay’s is one way where people can help end hunger, and it’s simply getting a sweet treat for yourself. That $1 proceeds goes a long way as it can give food to someone already.

If you’re looking for more ways to help, you can always sign up to be a volunteer at your local food bank. With the long queues and endless meal preparations, they are always in need of an extra helping hand. 

Another way to help end hunger is by creating a virtual food drive where you’ll be able to make a difference even if you don’t leave your home. A virtual food drive is when you donate the financial equivalent of meal boxes or food items from online. 

If you want to help by inspiring other people to take on the Hunger Awareness Month, you can always educate and share your stories. You can either choose to tell it to people you meet or share it online so more people can reach them. Feeding Florida advocates for this action as it brings attention to the hunger issue and removes the stigma attached to food, such as poverty and race. Participating in Hunger Awareness Month is made easy, especially with your favorites, such as TooJay’s partnering up with Feeding Florida to reach you.

TooJay’s has always chosen Feeding Florida as the charity that they support, and I’m here for it! I appreciate TooJay’s for always donating part of their proceeds and as well as inviting their guests to do something good for someone. I’ve never seen a fast-food restaurant this dedicated to serving the community. Make sure to mark your calendars, and don’t miss out on TooJay’s Banana Dream Cake for a cause.
