Grilled Cheese For Charity

The crew from "Cheese Wizards" food truck.

There's a food truck in Seattle that specializes in cheese delights. Founded by two brothers, Tom and Bo Saxbe, the truck, going by the name "Cheese Wizards", has been in operation for three years. The specialty is gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade soups and it comes from a yellow van with a middle earth-type theme. And these young men have been doing pretty well, so well, in fact, that they have thought about expanding.

However, their second truck won't be the same as the first. That truck is a plan from the heart. Even though the truck will still serve the same fare, not a single penny will go to these young business men. The plan is to serve those in need through this second truck, with the name "CHEESE WICHES".



The second food truck is part of a movement among small business to serve others, rather than pocketing more profits, as is done by Wall Street firms. The concept of the second truck is still serving food, but with each purchase, the profits go to various groups that assist veterans, sick kids, hungry families, and others in need. Bo said, "We'd love to be able to pull up and feed families of sick kids, disabled veterans, any number of causes."

The concept appeals to both customers and contributors. According to Lara Meierhofer, the head of Comfort Food Charities, "People aren't just looking to put money in their pockets. We actually want to make a difference in the community doing something that we love. It seems like a perfect model and I hope it takes off....Every sandwich bought from the "CHEESE WICHES" will be a donation to. and a snap-tutorial about, important causes that could use a little magical support."

Just getting started, with a long way to go on this second project, may the people of Seattle continue to check you out for some good comfort food, and a serving of charity.

It's being built. "Cheese Wiches" debuts in early July.
