Dine Out for No Kid Hungry

Orange Leaf in Wylie Family Night Out

September 18, 2016
Did you know that 1 in 5 children in the United States struggles with hunger?  There are homes right next door to some of us where the pantries are empty, and the mom or dad skips meals so their children are fed. 
This September, thousands of restaurant across the country and in every state will once again team up with No Kid Hungry® to help end childhood hunger in America by making every meal count. Since its launch in 2008, participating restaurants have raised $37 million in support of No Kid Hungry to help ensure every kid gets healthy meals every day. Because when kids get regular healthy meals they do better on tests, have fewer discipline problems, have fewer health problems and are more likely to graduate.

This is a big problem in our nation, but it is a solvable issue.  When you support No Kid Hungry, you get us closer to every kid getting healthy meals every day. 
Every year, the restaurant industry unites in an extraordinary showing of solidarity to prove that feeding people for a living is more than a profession –it’s a passion. Tens of thousands of restaurants around the country raise funds by participating in Dine Out for No Kid Hungry because no one understands the power of food better than the food service industry. Macaroni Kid and Orange Leaf in Wylie are teaming up and we invite you to bring your family out for a tasty treat and support Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. This is how you can help.
During Sept 19-23 when you buy a Featured Fall Swizzle, $1 will be donated to No Kid Hungry. In-store donations are encouraged and welcomed.  
Not only that but come out Thursday, September 22 from 6-9pm for a special Family Night Out with Macaroni Kid and enjoy prizes and fun while you give to this great cause. 
$1 helps feed a child 10 meals. Your donation supports No Kid Hungry’s work to give kids access to healthy meals every day, like starting the day ready to learn with breakfast in classroom.

We hope to see you there!
