COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The Waffle House Community Involvement program positively
influences the communities where we live and work. We do
this by developing partnerships, inspiring philanthropy
and promoting goodwill both inside and outside the
company. Waffle House community involvement efforts are
accomplished through sponsorship of events, partnership
and in-kind donations. Community involvement is organized
and supported on the corporate and local restaurant
level.
If you wish to inquire about our sponsorship, please
submit proposals via mail or e-mail to the communications
department at P.O. Box 6450 Norcross, GA. 30071, attention:
Communications Department or send an e-mail to
communications@wafflehouse.com.
