In 2012, restaurants raised $5.9 million for the No Kid Hungry
campaign—funds are used to raise awareness about child hunger in
the U.S.; create public-private partnerships that align kids with
the resources they need; support nutrition programs like School
Breakfast and Summer Meals; and educate kids and their families on
how to cook healthy meals with limited resources.
“Everyone—private citizens, businesses, policymakers, and
nonprofits—has a role in helping end childhood hunger in America,”
said Billy Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength®. “I
encourage everyone to dine out often at participating restaurants
wherever they are this September. Then visit NoKidHungry.org to
join this national movement to ensure that every child in America
has access to the nutritious food they need, every day.”
