Thank you for the support during our fundraising period — we were impressed by the turnout and amount of positive feedback we recieved. Again, thanks to everyone that helped Haiti.

Just FYI, we donated the funds to Yele.

Helping Haiti

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Unless you live under a rock or despise The Internets, you’ve surely heard of the tragedy in Haiti. Though there are numerous ways to help right now — texting, local volunteering, online donations — the four of us wanted to do our first globally good deed as proprietors.

Between now and Sunday’s close (that’s 2:30am Monday morning technically) we’ll be donating 5% of sales to Haitian relief. We haven’t picked which fund so if you know a good one let us know, but we’re going to find one that minimizes the administrative overhead so more money goes directly to the people that need it.

5% of sales. Not “a portion of the proceeds” or “5% of profits” or some other way to water down a charitable cause. 5% of sales. If you buy a $6.85 calzone, we donate $0.34 cents. Simple as that.

This is going on from now until Sunday 1/17. Thanks for your support.
