Click HERE for More Information on How You Can Help

I love companies with a heart and don’t mind shouting it out for the world to hear. When someone takes the time and effort to give back, it’s a beautiful thing to see. When the effort involves precious children, beautiful doesn’t seem to do it justice.

Below is a press release from Mellow Mushroom. I hope you’ll…

1. Read it.
2. Share it all over social media.
3. Eat at a Mellow Mushroom near you as many times in September as possible!

From Mellow Mushroom:

More than 16 million American children live without consistent access to food. This September, for the 4^th consecutive year, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers is joining thousands of restaurants nationwide to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry^® campaign by raising funds in their restaurants. During the month of September at Mellow Mushroom, there are four exciting ways to be a part of this initiative.

1. Make a donation at www.mmnnokidhungry.com of $10 and receive a FREE small cheese pizza.
2. Make a donation at www.mmnokidhungry.com of $25 or more and receive a FREE small cheese pizza and a limited edition House of Shroom t-shirt.
3. Purchase Mellow Mushroom’s limited edition House of Shroom kids’ t-shirt at www.houseofshroom.com and Mellow Mushroom will donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.
4. Share your Mellow Mushroom moments on Instagram using hashtags #MellowCupcake and #NoKidHungry and a $3 donation will be made on your behalf to No Kid Hungry.

Each $1 raised is equivalent to 10 meals for hungry children. This year Mellow Mushroom’s goal is to raise $150,000, providing 1.5 million meals for children without food. “Childhood hunger is a very serious issue in this country. We are humbled to be involved with a cause that can help find a solution,” Annica Kreider, VP of Brand Development for Mellow Mushroom says.

In 2014, the 8,661 participating restaurants raised $8.9 million for the No Kid Hungry campaign. These funds are used to raise awareness of 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.

Since the launch of the No Kid Hungry campaign in 2010, Dine Out for No Kid Hungry has increased more than 600% with an average of double-digit growth.
