Jason’s Deli is launching a new initiative to provide classroom supplies for 50 teachers ahead of the 2026 school year. Working alongside Dr Pepper, the deli chain has invested $25,000 in educator support through its new Community Partners Wish List Giveback program. Each selected teacher will have their Amazon wish list fulfilled at a value of up to $500. More Eat & Drink News
How the Jason’s Deli Teacher Wish List Program Works
Educators, parents, students, and community members can nominate a deserving teacher through the Community Partners Wish List Giveback page or through Linktree. Nominations close July 27, 2026, with recipients selected and notified by July 30 — leaving time to receive supplies before the school year begins.
“At Jason’s Deli, nurturing our communities has always been a part of who we are, and educators are at the heart of every community we serve,” said Kim Collura, vice president of marketing. “Teachers often supplement classroom needs out of their own pockets, and this initiative is designed to help ease that financial burden by providing supplies and resources that directly support their classrooms. Through our 50th anniversary celebration and our Dr Pepper partnership, we’re proud to give back in a meaningful way to the teachers who give so much every day.”
Jason’s Deli Community Partners Program Benefits
The Wish List Giveback is part of broader enhancements to Jason’s Deli’s existing Community Partners Program, which offers year-round support to K-12 schools and houses of worship. Current benefits include:
- 25% off catering for eligible Community Partners members
- 20% fundraising giveback opportunities at participating company-owned locations
- Approximately 4% back through Deli Dollars Rewards, with members earning $10 after 250 points
- Kid Cash Rewards for free Kids Meals, sponsorships, donations, and additional giveback opportunities throughout the year
