The 12th Annual Grilled Cheese Smackdown, held at Toad&Co headquarters, raised funds to support nutrition and food security in Santa Barbara County. Once again this year, the company selected Organic Soup Kitchen as its One Percent for the Planet nonprofit partner for a community event.
The event brought together 10 non-profit and for-profit teams to compete for the title of best gourmet grilled cheese and the coveted Golden Spatula Award.
“We are thrilled to once again receive revenue from Grilled Cheese Smackdown,” said Andrea Slaby, Chief Operating Officer of 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 serves clean, organic food. The agency provides nutrition and food security to low-income cancer patients and chronically ill residents throughout Santa Barbara County through education, advocacy, and programs.
