Mellow Mushroom is celebrating the spirit of holiday giving with a “Christmas in July” promotion.

From July 11-31, guests who spend $25 or more on Mellow Mushroom gift cards online will receive a $5 bonus—valid through September 30—and Mellow Mushroom will donate $5 for every $25 spent to Toys for Tots.

“Mellow Mushroom and Toys for Tots share a commitment to make a difference in the lives of children in local communities across the country,” said Anne Mejia, Mellow Mushroom’s VP of brand development.

Founded in 1947, Toys for Tots is a program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.

“We are very pleased to welcome Mellow Mushroom as a national corporate sponsor of the 2023 Marine Toys for Tots Campaign,” said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “Finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning is an experience every child deserves. With their generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children, who otherwise might have been forgotten.”

Mellow Mushroom was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1974 and operates in 19 states today. Each Mellow Mushroom is locally owned and operated.
