Donations
Hello! The fact that you’ve found yourself on this page probably means that you’re in the midst of planning a really awesome event to be enjoyed by the community, or perhaps you’re coordinating efforts to help your neighbors! We are proud to be part of a community of helpers – people, like you, who care about others, which is why we strive to be active community partners as well.
Eat'n Park supports over 1,600 non-profit organizations each year through in-kind donations in the communities that we serve. In order to make a greater impact through our giving, we focus on organizations and events that support family wellness and fitness, provide access to healthy food, and enhance the lives of those who have served.
Due to the tremendous number of requests that we receive at the restaurant and corporate level, we are unable to participate in all of the worthy opportunities presented to us. We apologize in advance if we are not able to fulfill your request.
How to ask your local Eat’n Park for a donation:
Our managers take pride in being involved in their communities through supporting a variety of events on a local level. Stop by your neighborhood Eat’n Park to discuss what donation options may be available to you. You could be eligible for:
- Up to 20 dozen Smiley Cookies at 50% off
- Up to $25 in gift cards
- Up to $20 in free product, like Smiley Cookies!
To be considered for one of these donations, please take a written request on your organization's letterhead to the general manager of your local Eat'n Park. Restaurant managers reserve the right to deny donation requests. Requesting donations from multiple Eat'n Park locations for the same event is prohibited.
