Jersey Mike’s Subs continues to do great things for our community. Most recently, our Webster Jersey Mike’s shop presented a check to Wreaths Across America-Webster for $450, which represented the proceeds from a week-long fundraiser held last November.
Wreaths Across America (WWA) local coordinator Cherie Wood said the funds will be used to sponsor 26 veteran wreaths for Wreaths Across America Day 2024 on Dec. 14. And for each sponsored wreath, WWA will give $5 back — or $130 — to the American Gold Star Mothers of Rochester, an organization of American mothers who have lost sons or daughters in the service of the United States. Rochester chapter president Dorothy Reid said those funds will be used to purchase tickets, food and shopping vouchers for an Amerks game for Eagle Star Housing veterans in Rochester and Batavia.
The check presentation was just a small part of Jersey Mike’s ongoing commitment to give back to their local communities. Last year, for example, our Rochester-area Jersey Mike’s shops donated $64,000 to Special Olympics, and this March — their Month of Giving — they hope to top $100,000. You can help by visiting any Jersey Mike’s shop on Wednesday March 27, when 100% of their proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics. All month long they’ll also be offering their customers the chance to round up their purchases, or purchase coupon cards for discounts on future orders:
- donate $1 and get a $1 coupon
- donate $3 and get a coupon for a free chip and drink
- donate $5 and get a coupon for a free sub when you buy another
Our Webster Jersey Mike’s is located at 975 Ridge Rd., in the small plaza across from the former Hegedorn’s.
