In America, 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger. ThisSeptember, Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar is joining thousands of restaurants nationwide to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign by raising funds in their restaurants. From September 1-30, guests will have the opportunity to make a difference in their local communities by visiting a Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar where they will be encouraged to donate funds in return for a coupon they can use during their next visit.
“Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry effort is a tremendously important and influential campaign aimed at ending childhood hunger in this country,” said Troy Cooper, Chief Operating Officer of Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar. “With twenty percent of children struggling with hunger in the U.S., Boston’s remains committed to helping fund efforts to fight these staggering statistic and give back to those in need.”
In 2013, nearly 9,000 restaurants raised $7.5 million for the No Kid Hungry campaign. No Kid Hungry 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.”
