What's This All About?

More than 16 million kids in America don't get the food they need. You can help change this, and do something good for your business at the same time.

Participation in Dine Out For No Kid Hungry is flexible. Restaurants can create their own custom promotion and materials or use the materials we’ve created. Popular fundraising methods include customer funded promotions, and, for smaller operations, menu promotions. You choose. The best way to raise funds is the way that fits your business best.

Here's how Dine Out For No Kid Hungry works:

  1. Register your restaurant.
    It's free, and your restaurant gets on the map for consumers to find you.
  2. Learn how others have succeeded,
    both multi-unit and smaller or independent operations.
  3. Use our Online Resource Center
    for best practices, employee education tools, templates for media and marketing tools, customer communications - even POP materials to download or customize.
  4. Plan your fundraising activities and train your team by September 1.
    Reinforce your training throughout your program. Our experts can help with ideas and lessons learned.
  5. Run your program during September/No Kid Hungry month.
    Include one or more days between September 15 and 21, the focus period for our national media campaign.
  6. Thank your customers and employees for supporting the No Kid Hungry campaign,
    send in the funds you raised, and enjoy the business boost.

It Matters

No child should grow up hungry in America, but one in five struggles with hunger. Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign is ending childhood hunger by making sure all kids get the healthy food they need, every day.

The funds raised through Dine Out For No Kid Hungry support the campaign and its work connecting kids in need with effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals and teaching low-income families how to cook healthy, affordable meals at home. Since Summer 2011, No Kid Hungry efforts have helped bring more than 34 million additional meals to kids who need them.
