Edmonton, Alberta, Canada-based Edo Japan, a QSR that serves Teppan-style food, is donating $14,900 to Edmonton's food bank.

The food bank held a fundraiser, the Simply Better giving campaign, during the end of 2014, raising a total of $76,094.75 (Canadian) for food banks across the country. Edo Japan franchises donated $0.25 from every spring roll purchased at its locations between November 3, 2014 and January 4, 2015.

"Edo Japan recognizes the difficulties that some Canadians face every day when it comes to supporting their families," said President and CEO, Tom Donaldson. "We hope that by providing these individuals with easier access to meals, we have, in some way, given them a 'Simply Better' moment to celebrate this holiday season. We are proud to be a part of the communities in which we serve and would like to thank our franchisees and customers for contributing to this important cause. At Edo Japan we acknowledge the necessity of working together to create a brighter future and believe we can attain this goal together."

Edo Japan's food bank project participation has raised more than $222,000 in donations since 2010.
