The promotion is a part of Jersey Mike’s “Month of Giving” and sales are expected to be over $20 million for the day.

The more you order, the more Jersey Mike’s gives. Whether in-store, through Jersey Mike’s app or through third-party delivery partners, proceeds from every single sale this Wednesday — including subs, chips, drinks, and catering orders — will go to local charities.”
