Jersey Mike’s donates to Kids on the Block

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A local restaurant owner donates 100% of sales to the organization “Kids on the Block.”

Jersey Mike’s in Bowling Green & Glasgow donated all their sales from the Month of Giving, which is around $14,000.

The month allows each Jersey Mike’s location to pick a charity and donate 100% of sales to them.

Kids on the Block says it’s very rare for them to receive donations of this size. However, Jersey Mike’s says the choice of Kids on the Block was easy.

“Our esteemed operator here in Bowling Green, Melissa, whose son goes to a local school here, had mentioned Kids on the Block and the impact that they had had on him. She was asking around for some ideas to help kids and Kids on the Block is what she found. They found out about it and we reached out to them & connected, and the rest is history,” owner Austin Whetsel says.

Jersey Mike’s says they are honored to participate in their Month of Giving and is proud to give back to their community.
