“Giving back to the community through community engagement programs, like Dine Out or Hunger, are part of the core values of our restaurants”, says owner Jon Workinger.” We have dedicated each Tuesday Community Night in the month of September and bounce back coupons all month long to raise funds to support the No Kid Hungry campaign.

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.”
