Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar has launched a new partnership with charitable organization Mealshare.
As part of OJ’s community care fund, partial proceeds from a featured item on the winter and summer seasonal menus will go towards Mealshare to purchase a meal for someone in need.
Mealshare is a non-profit society that allows people to turn their dining out into helping out. For every Mealshare item purchased, one meal is provided to someone in need. Half of the meals are provided locally through the Breakfast Club of Canada, Calgary Drop-in Centre, Food Bank, Hope Mission, Mission Possible, Our Place Society and Warmland House. The other half are provided in developing countries through Save the Children.
“Original Joe’s is incredibly proud to partner with Mealshare,” said Elena Remoundos, marketing manager. “We share a vision of supporting charities that provide help through a well-rounded approach to make a lasting and meaningful difference. Giving back to those who are less fortunate is important to us.”
Original Joe’s launched the program in conjunction with its winter warm-up menu. The featured Mealshare menu item will be the miso ramen bowl.
“Mealshare is excited to build a deep, long-term partnership with Original Joe’s,” said Jeremy Bryant, co-founder of Mealshare. “This partnership allows us to expand into several new markets and we are truly inspired and motivated by the impact we are going to be able to have together.”
