The 12th annual Grilled Cheese Smackdown at Toad&Co headquarters has raised money to support nutrition and food security in Santa Barbara County. Again this year, the company selected Organic Soup Kitchen to be its One Percent for the Planet nonprofit partner for the community event.
The event brought together 10 nonprofit and for-profit teams who competed for the title of best gourmet grilled cheese and the coveted Golden Spatula Award.
“We are thrilled to again be the recipient of proceeds from the Grilled Cheese Smackdown,” said Andrea Slaby, COO at Organic Soup Kitchen.
“We are honored to receive support from local businesses like Toad&Co who share our commitment to environmentally friendly product sourcing and manufacturing processes,” she said.
Organic Soup Kitchen provides access to clean, organic food. Through education, advocacy and programs, the agency provides nutrition and food security to low income cancer patients and chronically ill residents throughout Santa Barbara County.
