Canada's Edo Japan to launch good deeds campaign

November 22, 2013

Edo Japan, Canada's Teppan-style, fast casual restaurant, has launched a holiday campaign, "Simply Better," where "Edo Elves" can be seen Nov. 28- Dec. 21. throughout Calgary performing good deeds, such as carrying heavy bags, scraping off icy cars and doing almost anything to make someone's day a little brighter, according to a company press release.

Edo Japan is also helping the Calgary Food Bank to provide food and resources to those in need. Together, both organizations are working to reduce hunger in communities in which they serve and make the holiday season better. For every $25 gift card sold, Edo Japan will donate $5 to a local food bank, in hopes of raising more than $15,000.

"Edo Japan cares about the community and would like to make our customers and others lives Simply Better during the holiday season," said president and CEO, Tom Donaldson. "Hunger affects people from all walks of life and Edo Japan has been supporting the food bank for a number of years now. This holiday season, we wanted to give back not only to the food bank, but to our customers and our different communities as well. We hope our Edo Elves will spread some joy and encourage others to make this a simply better holiday season."
