Fall Forward Into Giving: Local Love Spreads Into Giving During the Changing Seasons
From the Immigrant Center to local football teams, Sexy Sammies and Local Love had a busy fall coming into winter. Let’s keep the giving going!
It’s time for an update from our Local Love program!
It’s been quite the busy second half of 2022 for Sexy Sammies, prepping for our new restaurant location in downtown Greeley and continuing our efforts to be involved in the community as much as we can.
We started August with a very important donation for the Immigrant and Refugee Center by hosting a food truck event where all of the proceeds went back to the center.
They provide immigrants and refugees with courses that teach them English and prepare them for life as a citizen here.
Then it was back to school. The rest of August was full of school events and donating to Bootleggin' Days!
On 8/12/22 we partnered with Jessica Archuleta, the owner of Estilo Da Vida for a Back to School event where we helped provide haircuts and school supplies to local students. Sexy Sammies donated gift cards to all the volunteers as well as $50 in gift cards to be raffled off to raise money for student supplies and handed out coupons to all students.
There was UNC Rec Fest on 8/19/22–Sammies donated and distributed samples to UNC students at Rec Fest event for the opening week of school.
Finally, on 8/22, we had Bootleggin Days! Sexy Sammies donated a gift basket and $50 gift cards to be used as a raffle prize at the event.
September was busy as well, starting with 9/3, where we donated and distributed samples to UNC students at the UNC Bears, Brews, and Bites Alumni Football Game. Sammies donated and distributed samples to UNC students and alumni at the football game.
Other September highlights for Local Love:
9/8/22 Evans Chamber Donation: We donated a meal for 40 people to support the Evans Chambers members.
9/22/22: Weld County Dine out for Hunger: Sexy Sammies donated 15% of all receipts from 9/22/22 to Weld County Food Bank. This is huge for them going into the holiday giving season!
9/23/22 Oktobrewfest - Sexy Sammies fed a team of 30 volunteers from the Greeley Downtown Development Authority as they prepared for the annual Oktobrewfest event.
9/28/22 AIMS Arty Bizarre: Participated in AIMS College event handing out food and coupons to students and staff at AIMS Community College.
October was SCARY good for donations, helping out young kids, local teachers and staff, and a high school football team!
On October 7, you would have found us with Partners Mentoring Youth, where we had a full-service catering set-up and donated services to a Halloween event to benefit kids and mentors alike, serving approximately 120 guests.
October 11 was parent-teacher conferences, making sure all the teachers were rewarded for putting up with the little chicks at Chappelow Elementary. We donated meals to the teachers and support staff.
Finally, to wrap up our fall and head into the holiday season of giving, we went to team dinner! The University High School Football Team got to eat Sexy Sammies—we donated meals for 50 local high school football athletes for their team dinner.
And that is a wrap for fall 2022! Stay tuned for more Local Love and our holiday season update at the end of December.
