“Together with our guests, we raised more than
$500,000 for No Kid Hungry in 2016, which put us 5 million meals
closer to ending childhood hunger in America once and for all,”
said Dave Boennighausen, chief executive officer of Noodles &
Company. “With one in six kids struggling with hunger in our
country today, there’s no better time than now to empower our
people, our guests and our communities to come together and
positively impact the lives of those kids who need it most.”
In addition to the in-restaurant fundraising
campaign, Noodles & Company will also host the Dine Out for No
Kid Hungry School Bus Tour on Tues., Sept. 5, at its Market Street
Station restaurant (1460 16th St.) in Denver. From 11:30 a.m. to 2
p.m., Boennighausen will be joined by local Noodles and No Kid
Hungry team members to take action, drive fundraising efforts and
help shine a light on the childhood hunger crisis in America. The
bus tour, which began in New York on Aug. 21 and concludes in Los
Angeles on Sept. 13, aims to highlight the true impact of hunger in
schools and communities across the country. A new study by No Kid
Hungry found that 95 percent of teachers believe hunger impacts
their students’ ability to succeed and 77 percent of teachers
directly correlate hunger with poor academic performance.
“For the second consecutive year, we’re so proud
and thankful to have Noodles & Company’s continued support of
our mission to ensure that no child in this country ever goes
hungry again,” said Diana Hovey, senior vice president of Dine Out
for No Kid Hungry. “With just the simple act of dining out and
making a donation at Noodles & Company during the month of
September, we can all help make an immediate difference in a big
way.”
Coupons for the free Shareable item are valid
through Oct. 17, 2017 and are good for any size Korean BBQ
Meatballs, Cheesy Garlic Bread or Potstickers. The coupon cannot be
combined with any other offer. For more information on Noodles
