Who doesn’t love a diner? Especially if it’s a greaZy diner cheeseburger (with iceberg lettuce, white onions) and fries. They are the best. And the ketchup that is always there to go on said burger – Heinz. These are staples of Americana. And nothing is more Americana and sacred than a diner.
Today, the 150-year-old brand is bringing America together to support these neighborhood cornerstones when they need it most through Heinz for Diners, an initiative aimed at helping local diners get back on their feet.
To start helping now, Heinz is making a $1 million commitment — in the form of $2,000 grants — to help cover rent and operating costs for 500 qualifying, independently owned diners.
Starting today through May 31, 2020, the brand wants you to visit HeinzforDiners.com to nominate your favorite diner to receive a one-time, no-strings-attached check. Watch the new :15-second spot from Wieden+Kennedy, New York below:

“For decades, diners’ doors have been open to all of us,” said Dalia Adler, brand building lead, Heinz. “At a time where every bit counts, we want to do what we can to help take care of these special places that are so much more to our families than just a restaurant.”
Last month, Kraft Heinz committed to donating $12 million globally to ensure people worldwide have the food they need during this challenging time. Additionally, the company launched an internal and external campaign, #WeGotYouAmerica, to celebrate the thousands of employees who are working around the clock in our manufacturing facilities to keep food on America’s tables.
