Eli’s Giving Tree
One of our most valued holiday traditions at Eli’s is our Giving Tree. It’s a way that Eli’s and our associates team up to make gift of our cheesecake to a civic or charitable group that is important to that associate. The key is that the delivery of up to two cases of Eli’s Cheesecake (enough to feed over 100) is made by the individual associate and, if possible, their family. We are proud as a company of our record of community support but is nothing when compared to the pride and our recognition that our individual associates receive when they deliver their Eli’s. A big thank you to our people at Eli’s who share a passion for our product and a desire to make a difference in the communities we serve.
Eli’s is honored to provide donations in our community and to charitable organizations throughout the US. Here is a portion of the organizations we have been happy to support:
