The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Foundation is proud to announce the second year of a partnership with Bob Evans Restaurants. From November 11 through December 11, Bob Evans will donate 20 cents for each slice and 60 cents for each whole Pumpkin and Pumpkin Supreme Pie sold through dine-in and carry-out. Proceeds from the promotion (up to $25,000) will be designated toward urgently needed VFW programs that directly assist U.S. military service personnel and their families.
“We are extremely excited to be renewing our relationship with such a well-respected company,” said VFW Foundation Director John Lowe. “We cannot say enough about how much we appreciate the support of Bob Evans and their wonderful, patriotic customers who believe as we do in ensuring that troops and their families will never be forgotten in their time of great emotional, physical or financial need.”
“Bob Evans is all about bringing families together over a meal,” said Bob Evans Restaurants President and Chief Concept Officer Randy Hicks. “We’re proud to give back to military families and their loved ones. These individuals have personally sacrificed so much for us all.”
