hand in hand, making a difference in our communities
(amount raised for local efforts by Elmer’s Restaurants & Egg N’ Joe since 2011)
As a group of independently owned and operated family dining restaurants, we know how important it is to give back and build strong connections in the communities that we serve. Our local owners enjoy keeping marketing dollars in the local community, but are very selective when considering programs to support, preferring to do more than simply write a check. We want to participate, engage, build relationships, and extend our mission outward to delight the community!
We carefully choose programs and causes that reflect the values of our Guests and team members which include supporting initiatives that help children, families, military veterans and feed those that can’t otherwise feed themselves. The impact of truly connecting with the local community is key to success – instilling pride in team members and letting the community know how much you genuinely care about what matters to them.
