MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes raised $35,000 that will feed up to 350,000 children in America for Share Our Strength's 'No Kid Hungry' campaign after a system-wide marketing and promotion.
The restaurant helped raise $35,000 to combat childhood hunger by offering booklets of coupons of free food and dessert with each $5 donation given to the No Kid Hungry Campaign held between Sept. 8 through Oct. 5
Share Our Strength's reports revealed that 1 in 5 American children suffer from hunger and "not knowing when or where their next meal will come." The money raised by the campaign will feed meals to up to 350,000 hungry children in America.
"We are proud to provide this donation for such a worthy cause and help feed so many children in need," said Rich Hicks, Co-Founder and CEO of MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes.
"The entire MOOYAH family came together behind the No Kid Hungry campaign and we were able to make an impact in our restaurants' communities across the country," Hicks added.
The No Kid Hungry Campaign happens every September, and during that time, thousands of restaurants in different parts of the country come together to raise funds and awareness for the campaign.
The campaign has called for millions of customers to donate to the charitable organization at the point-of-sale stores and through their online and social media sites, or by participating in local fundraising and marketing occasions.
"I'm constantly impressed with the passion that our franchise partners exhibit when given the opportunity to support a cause that means so much to so many people," said Natalie Anderson, Senior Brand Manager of MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes.
"Families come first at MOOYAH, and childhood hunger is an unfortunate reality that all of our team members recognize as a cause worth fighting. Our entire system rallied behind the No Kid Hungry cause and went above and beyond to create awareness of the issue and raise funds that will provide meals for children who may otherwise go hungry," Anderson added.
