Burgers, fries and shakes are parts of 350,000 meals being provided to hungry children by MOOYAH Burgers as the chained restaurant has raised $35,000 to help stop hunger for children.
MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes has announced that after a system-wide promotion and partnership with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign, the company raised $35,000 to help battle childhood hunger. The Dallas-based fast-casual chain offered booklets of coupons for free food and dessert with each $5 donation going to the No Kid Hungry campaign between Sept. 8 and October 1, according to PRweb.com.
According to Share Our Strength, one in every five 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," Rich Hicks, Co-Founder and CEO of MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, told PRweb.com. "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."
"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."
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.
