Supporting Families with Every Sandwich
Lily's Toaster Grills has officially marked an extraordinary achievement by donating over
500,000 grilled cheese sandwiches through its initiative known as
Grilled Cheese for Good. This donation program aligns with the brand's mission to provide warm, nutritious meals to children and families facing food insecurity. From the toaster to the table, Lily's grilled cheese sandwiches are made simple, leaving no mess behind, and providing a quick meal option for families in need.
Food insecurity is a critical issue in the United States, affecting more than
47 million people, including
nearly 14 million children. The statistics are alarming: one in five children is unsure where their next meal will come from. This uncertainty greatly affects their academic performance, development, and overall well-being, making the work of Lily's Toaster Grills even more significant.
The remarkable milestone was reached through partnerships with various organizations dedicated to tackling food insecurity, such as
We Don't Waste,
Breakthrough at Kent Denver,
The Action Center,
Jeffco Eats, and more. Each of these collaborations has been instrumental in ensuring that the sandwiches make their way into the hands of those in need. For instance, the Mid-South Food Bank has been vital for families in Memphis, working together with Lily's to make a difference.
Grilled Cheese for Good is not just a donation effort; it is a key element of Lily's brand mission. Each sandwich sold contributes to the initiative, reflecting their commitment to social responsibility. Additionally, Lily's team actively participates in food distribution efforts, volunteering at mobile markets throughout the year, helping to pack, prepare, and hand out sandwiches to those who need them most.
Rob Hearne, the CEO of Lily's Toaster Grills, emphasized the organization's dedication: "Giving back has been part of our mission since day one. Long before we ever sold a sandwich, we were hand-delivering them to elementary schools, ensuring that every child has access to a warm, nourishing meal. With our growth comes an expanded capacity to give back."
The impact of Lily's donations is profoundly felt in the community. Individuals and families served by those sandwiches share heartfelt gratitude, expressing how such acts of kindness have helped them navigate difficult times: "We have families who expressed that these grilled cheeses have made a significant difference during tough days. Thank you for being a blessing!" said a representative of Mid-South Food Bank. It is heartwarming testimonials like these that underscore the power of nourishing meals.
Lily's Toaster Grills is not resting on its laurels; the team is pressing forward with the goal of reaching
1 million sandwiches donated. Each sandwich sold means a little less hunger in communities across the nation, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to making mealtime smoother, warmer, and tastier for everyone.
As the movement evolves, so too does Lily's mission of feeding families, one grilled cheese at a time. For those interested in following the journey of Lily's Toaster Grills and their impactful work, updates can be found on their website at
