“In America, 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger, and that is an extremely unsettling static to swallow,” said Joe Phraner, President and COO of bd’s Mongolian Grill. “With the help of our guests, we hope to make a difference.”

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.
