It’s unfortunate, but 1 in 5 children in the USA are going hungry. 48.8 million Americans—including 16.2 million children— live in households that lack the means to get enough nutritious food on a regular basis. As a result, they struggle with hunger at some time during the year.  59% of food-insecure households reported that in the previous month they had participated in one or more of the three largest federal food and nutrition assistance programs: SNAP, School Lunch and WIC.

As some of you know, I work at a middle school (which is one among the remote jobs available here) where the majority of students depend on school breakfast and lunches.  These are often the only wholesome meal that they eat during the week.  Denny’s is working with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.  No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger in America by connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaching families how to cook healthy, affordable meals. You can help surround kids with healthy food where they live, learn and play.  Most of us associate Denny’s with breakfast and that’s Denny’s focus in their campaign.

Through September 30th, nearly 1,600 Denny’s nationwide will sell coupons in support of No Kid Hungry’s efforts to help the more than 16 million American children struggling with hunger. For a $3 donation, guests will receive $9 worth of coupons redeemable at participating Denny’s restaurants. Every dollar donated helps feed a child up to 10 healthy meals.

Everyone who donates online will be e-mailed a coupon for $5 off their next $20 meal at Denny’s. Customers can also pledge their support by purchasing one of three exclusive No Kid Hungry campaign t-shirts – designed by Denny’s team members in Texas, Nevada and Kentucky – for $10 each. T-shirts are available at dennys.com/nokidhungry and a portion of all sales goes directly to No Kid Hungry.
