Foursquare, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Kraft Foods have teamed up to give us a great reason to indulge in a cheeseburger today.
For every Foursquare check-in at a Five Guys today, Kraft Foods will donate the equivalent of a meal at the restaurant (approx. $12.50) to Feeding America. To be sure that your check-in triggers a donation to help feed someone in need, take a moment to visit kraftcheese.com/checkin and connect your Foursquare account. Then gather up the office for lunch at Five Guys.
A burger related check-in will earn you extra points and a special “flame broiled” badge today.
