Why donate to Eli's?

Eli’s Restaurant Group is dedicated to giving back to the communities that we serve. We support community and charitable organizations in the cities where we operate restaurants, and where the focus is consistent with our own of encouraging healthy lifestyles.

If you are interested in end-of-day donations please contact your local store manager for availability. We are not able to process those requests at our support center.
