Domino's Pizza has made a three-year, $1 million pledge to No Kid Hungry to help expand summer meal access for kids across the United States. Last spring, Russell Weiner, Domino's CEO, joined No Kid Hungry's CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger, according to a press release.
"Many people think of summer as a fun, carefree time, but it can be difficult for kids who are facing food insecurity, as they no longer have access to school meals," Weiner said in the press release. "Domino's is excited to announce our $1 million pledge to No Kid Hungry in an effort to help eliminate childhood hunger in the U.S., so kids can focus on being kids."
"We have a monumental opportunity to close the summer meals gap for millions of kids in America," Anne Filipic, CEO of Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign, added in the press release. "That's why we're investing the necessary funds, so local groups have the support they need, including essential resources like meal trucks, food packaging and refrigeration to implement new and more accessible programs to feed kids this and every summer. Thanks to Domino's $1 million pledge, we are that much closer to ending summer hunger."
As the only national campaign solely dedicated to ending childhood hunger in the U.S., No Kid Hungry is leading the effort to expand new USDA summer meals programs, including Summer EBT (also known as SUN Bucks), a grocery benefit, and SUN Meals To-Go, which provides flexibility for rural communities to offer meal pickup or delivery options. The programs stand to benefit 31 million kids nationwide. Before these programs, only 2.8 million kids were accessing summer meals, due to barriers like transportation.
Domino's Pizza has more than 21,300 restaurants in more than 90 markets.
