QDOBA to give $10,000 to the Topeka Rescue Mission

TOPEKA (KSNT) - A new chain restaurant that opened in north Topeka last month has revealed a large donation to a location organization that helps the homeless.

The Topeka Rescue Mission (TRM) announced on Friday, Dec. 6 that it has accepted a $10,000 donation from QDOBA Mexican Eats. This money was collected on the opening day for north Topeka's new QDOBA location at 2031 Northwest Topeka Boulevard.

“We are very excited to bring our Qdoba flavor to North Topeka!" said Chuck Stratman, president and CEO of QDOBA. "When we opened our first restaurant in 2008, we were so happy to partner with the Topeka Rescue Mission, and we are grateful to be able to repeat our commitment to our community. Our locally, family and veteran owned business has a tradition of giving back to the community that has supported us and our employees."

Miranda Molinar with the TRM said an official check ceremony will happen at 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9. The check will be presented by Stratman to La Manda Broyles, TRM's executive director.

“We are so thankful for Chuck and his team who were willing to designate all of their proceeds of opening day to the work the Topeka Rescue Mission does in our community for our community," Broyles said. "This type of selfless giving reflects the values of their locally owned business and will bless the lives of many.”
