Make-A-Wish New Jersey has teamed up with over 130 Jersey Mike’s Subs locations for the 15th Annual “Month of Giving” campaign, which supports local charities. Customers can donate by rounding up their purchases or giving $1, $3, or $5 during March. The campaign culminates in the “Day of Giving” on March 26, when all sales from participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants will benefit Make-A-Wish New Jersey. This partnership has successfully raised over $2. 1 million since it began, helping to grant over 250 wishes for children facing critical illnesses.

Jersey Mike’s aims to surpass last year's record-breaking national fundraising total of $25 million, which highlights the company’s commitment to community support. The Parsippany location, situated at 317 Smith Road, is one of the participating restaurants, along with others in nearby towns like Whippany and Morristown. This initiative not only aids children in need but also strengthens community ties through local participation. More information about the campaign and a list of participating locations is available online.
