Atlanta and Washington, DC (RestaurantNews.com) More than 16 million children face hunger in America today, but help has proven to be a collective “good mood” away. With the generosity of Arby’s customers, employees and franchisees over the past several months, the Arby’s Foundation has contributed over $2 million to the No Kid Hungry Campaign, a national effort to end childhood hunger in America. The recent Share Your Good Mood restaurant fundraising program benefiting Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign more than doubled the Arby’s Foundation’s original pledge to raise $1 million during the fourth quarter.
“Only one dollar donated to the No Kid Hungry Campaign can help connect a child facing hunger here in the U.S. to 10 meals, so just imagine what two million dollars can do,” said Billy Shore, CEO and founder of Share Our Strength. “In an extraordinarily short amount of time, Arby’s and its customers have made outstanding achievements toward our cause: ending childhood hunger. This sizeable contribution will allow us to allocate vital resources to children in need and to continue growing our work across the nation to ensure no child goes hungry.”
