For Hunger Action Month this September, The Cheesecake Factory will be engaging their 30,000 employees in a peanut butter drive to benefit Feeding America. Their goal is to collect 100,000 jars of peanut butter to benefit Feeding America food banks in the markets where they have restaurants.

Feeding South Florida will be a recipient of peanut butter collected at participating Cheesecake Factory locations.

They will be doing extensive employee outreach to promote the drive and will be sponsoring inter-restaurant contests to encourage participation.The peanut butter drive will be led by "hunger champions" at each restaurant who will be responsible for overseeing the collection and delivery of donations to Feeding South Florida.

They will also unveil their new Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake this September. From now until January 2011, $0.25 of each slice sold will be donated to Feeding America.
