Apple Spice Junction

Archive for April 21st, 2009

In the opinion of Apple Spice Junction, every business has a responsibility to give back to the community where they are operating.  Apple Spice Junction restaurants around the country do this in many different ways.  We bake our bread fresh every day and use it for that day only.  Because of this, every store usually has leftover bread at the end of the day and are encouraged to always donate this bread to a relief agency or program.  Bread is given to churches, homeless shelters, halfway houses, and any other places that are operating in our towns that we feel are helping the community.

The Apple Spice Junction in Salt Lake City partnered for many years with an individual who would do a dinner once a month at the Road Home Shelter.  Apple Spice would donate all the catering dishes and equipment, including vehicles, to help put the meal together.  Food was donated from many different vendors and whatever could not be found through donations, Apple Spice would subsidize the rest.  Employees also had the opportunity to go and help make and serve the food which provided individuals the opportunity to perform service for others.

Employees on our teams all over the country are involved in many different services to the community.  As an example of this, The Little Rock, Arkansas team is doing the 5K Walkathon on April 29^th to help raise money for the March of Dimes.  We strongly encourage all who have the opportunity to look for ways to be involved in their communities.
