The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has expanded its partnership with GiftAMeal, making the community engagement platform its national philanthropic partner. After piloting the program with 10 locations in July 2024, the restaurant chain now offers GiftAMeal in over 70 locations across the United States, excluding cloud kitchens, food trucks, and locations in the Las Vegas Valley.
Since the partnership began in 2024, guests of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill have helped provide more than 20,000 meals to families facing food insecurity in their communities. For every photo taken through the GiftAMeal platform, the organization donates to a trusted local food bank, helping deliver 1.2 pounds of groceries through a network of neighborhood pantries.
‘GiftAMeal allows our franchise operators to live our brand mission by translating local commitment into real community impact,’ said Bob Andersen, President of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. ‘Across our system, guests can enjoy a great meal while helping deliver groceries through neighborhood pantries, making serving the community an integrated part of our franchise model and everyday guest experience.’
This Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17 and throughout the month, The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill is inviting guests to participate. At the end of February, the restaurant will match the monetary value of the total number of meals donated, established by each food bank, to contribute the same number of meals.
Participating is straightforward: customers scan the GiftAMeal QR code posted inside the restaurant, take a photo of their food or drink to trigger an automatic donation to a local food bank, and can share on social media afterwards to multiply the impact. Social media shares can double, triple, or even quadruple donations.
‘The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has quickly become a valued national partner in our mission to support families facing hunger,’ said Andrew Glantz, Founder and CEO of GiftAMeal. ‘More than 20,000 meals have already been donated through their guests’ participation, and we’re excited to expand our impact together as we head into our third year of partnership.’
GiftAMeal serves as the trusted partner of over 1,000 restaurants nationwide, from local independents to national brands, and has provided over 2.8 million meals to date.
