No Kid Hungry spreads awareness

August 29, 2018

No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America, is coming together with more than 15,000 restaurants and their guests to help the one in six children in America living with hunger, according to a press release. 

Every September, restaurants across the country unite to end childhood hunger in America through Dine Out for No Kid Hungry, a guest-supported fundraising initiative. When guests dine out at a No Kid Hungry partner restaurant, they can donate in exchange for valuable rewards. Every $1 donated provides a child with up to 10 meals.

No Kid Hungry is launching its Hunger Can't Wait tour, which will travel to five cities across the country, hosting special events at partner restaurants from today through Sept. 17.

The tour will kick off in Los Angeles with stops in San Diego, Denver, Dallas and Atlanta. These events will engage the public in a conversation about the urgency to end childhood hunger in America and celebrate restaurant employees' commitment to the cause.  Mobile billboards will be deployed in each market to spread the message and recognize employees and guests who support of the campaign.

"Nobody understands that hunger can't wait better than the restaurant industry," CEO of Habit Burger Grill Russ Bendel, said in the release. "We're excited to continue our support of No Kid Hungry's work, and look forward to giving our guests a simple way to be part of the solution."
