Meatheads Launches New "Cowmunity" Relations Program

Fast Casual Family Restaurant to Acknowledge Everyday Citizens in Community

CHICAGO - Meatheads is honoring the determination, hustle and hard work of their most valued community members. On Monday, January 18th, the restaurant is launching the Meatheads Cowmunity Relations Program to reward those making a difference in their communities, or “cowmunities” as Meatheads calls them.

Meatheads has been active in the community since its first restaurant opened in 2007 - volunteering at events, hosting fundraisers, donating money for various school programs and sponsoring sports teams near all 17 locations. The goal of the program will be to further ingrain Meatheads into the community and showcase rewarding individuals in a more formal fashion. Meatheads will share stories of deserving individuals and community groups and recognize them in front of the Meatheads family and the surrounding areas.

“Meatheads has always been more than just a restaurant. It was founded on the premise of bringing people in the community together,” says Tom Jednorowicz, CEO and Founder of Meatheads. “There are countless everyday citizens who go unrecognized for the work they do for others, so our team is seeking out and recognizing those people who truly make a difference in their communities.”

Each month, Meatheads will select one person who exemplifies the company’s standards of determination, hustle and hard work. The winner will receive a $500 donation to his/her organization/company, have his/her photo and story on the wall in all 17 Meatheads locations and will be profiled on the Meatheads website.

Meatheads has a few individuals in mind, but the company is seeking help from its customers to find all of those exceptional individuals who deserve a pat on the back. Nominations can be submitted year round on the Meatheads website, www.eatatmeatheads.com.
