Merry Christmas, and a very special thank you to all of our customers who donated to our First Annual Warming the Hands of Homeless Drive to make it a success. We collected loads of gloves and went out this morning to distribute to the less fortunate. Our journey started in East Elmhurst where we met a few people on the street, then continued on down Queens Boulevard and into Manhattan's Bowery District, where several needy people took kindly to receiving a pair of gloves on this unusually warm Christmas Day. From there we set out back up town landing at Penn Station, where dozens of men and women thanked us for our donations to keep them warm through the winter...
We're hosting our FIRST ANNUAL WARMING THE HANDS OF HOMELESS DRIVE.
We will be collecting new and gently worn gloves and mittens during the month of December to be distributed Christmas morning to the less fortunate.
Donated items can be dropped off at Grandma’s Cheesecake Sandwiches Bake Shop located at 12-40 Clintonville Street, Whitestone, Queens during regular business hours ~ Monday – Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Sundays 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
A free plain cheesecake sandwich will be given to each individual making a donation. *Limit one per person for the duration of the drive.
We ask everyone to come out and support.
Today was a day to give thanks for all the things we have, and to remember those of us who are less fortunate by donating over the holidays. We did that on this Thanksgiving Day with cake. A special something extra to make the women living in the new homeless shelter on 20th Avenue and 127th Street in College Point feel more human because that's what they are, and we should understand that there are times when people are down on their luck, and just need a helping hand to get back on their feet. No one grows up thinking...oh, I want to be homeless, it just happens, sometimes due to circumstances beyond our control. So next time you see...
Well, we're going to be available in the freezer section of all 14 Fairways after Thanksgiving. Plain, Chocolate Chip, and Milk Chocolate in our new packaging.
It's been a lot of hard work, and I promise I will keep at it, until we're available at a store near you.
My grandmother would be so happy if she was here to see her recipe for plain cheesecake evolve into 20+ flavors of cheesecake sandwiches for all to enjoy.
This is my way of honoring her memory, and sharing her delicious dessert with you all.
Thank you.
