Can you believe that classes start back in Des Moines in one week?! It seems like it was just yesterday that everyone was celebrating their kids' start to summer. To celebrate the start of the new year, today only, we will donate $1 from every sandwich and pound of Grazi's Sausage purchased to McKinley Elementary School in Des Moines. This is a great opportunity to support your community and the students at McKinley Elementary while treating yourself to a delicious lunch and everyone's favorite Italian Sausage!

Stop in today and help us support our friends at McKinley Elementary!
