The most meaningful gift is time—and helping families make more of it for each other. 💛

Until Dec. 27, donate $20 at any U.S. Melting Pot and receive a $30 Donate & Dine Card for a future visit. Your contribution supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and helps families focus on their child - not the cost of treatment, travel, housing, or food.

Together, Melting Pot guests have helped raise more than $20 million for St. Jude since 2003. Thank you for being part of it!

For more than 20 years, our partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has been about more than tradition, it’s about making a difference together. 💛

As Bob Johnston, Chairman of the Board, shared, hosting our team members at St. Jude is a highlight of every year - an opportunity to see firsthand the impact of what they and our guests support.

And that impact adds up: Thanks to last year’s Donate & Dine campaign, we were able to donate $1,278,308 to St. Jude. Guests donate $20 and receive $30 toward a future visit, helping keep generosity in motion.

The Melting Pot is proud of our partnership with St. Jude and grateful to our franchisees, team members, and guests for making a difference - together.

🍷 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc
From New Zealand’s celebrated w**e region, this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc leads with notes of grapefruit, green apple, and passion fruit, balanced by a crisp, clean finish that shines alongside the savory and fresh flavors of fall.

Want even more? Upgrade to a 4-course experience by adding any of our core entrées for an additional charge.
