THE HOBEE’S HELPING HAND
No one loves a parade more than Mr. Coffeecake! Here's our
famous mascot at Palo Alto's Annual May Fete Parade.
From the beginning, Hobee's
has focused on contributing food and gift certificates to local
community organizations in lieu of extensive advertising.
Each month, the chain donates thousands of dollars of in-kind items
to charitable groups, schools, recreation departments and other
worthwhile organizations.
Building partnerships with our surrounding communities
is yet another way Hobee's stays a step ahead. Let
us know if we can help your favorite charity or civic group. Here is the process for obtaining a donation from Hobee's:
- At least 4 weeks
before your event, write a brief letter informing us
about your event. Tell us who, what, when, where and why.
Let us know how many people you're expecting and how you'll be able
to recognize the donation in your publicity. Let us know specifically
how you would like Hobee's to help (ex. gift certificate for silent
auction or sheets of coffeecake for a benefit run);
- Send your written request
to Edward Fike at the Hobee's Main Office by regular mail at
4224 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA, 94306; FAX (650) 493 - 0756;
or e-mail Edward Fike
- Please note that Hobee's
does not make cash contributions. We are contacted by
far too many organizations to effectively and fairly distribute
monetary funds.
Thanks for including Hobee's in your plans!
(The preceding information is also included on our Donations
Hotline at (800) HOBEES-6, extension 104.)
