Denny’s announced today that it raised more than $1.2 million through its 12th annual fundraiser in partnership with No Kid Hungry.
The campaign ran from October 26, 2022, to January 4, 2023, and donations collected will be used to help end childhood hunger at a time when currently one in eight children in the United States faces hunger.
During the campaign, guests had the opportunity to “round up” their checks to the nearest dollar, donate an amount of their choice at the register or donate through Dennys.com. In doing so, guests receive an official Denny’s and No Kid Hungry supporter pinup.
In total, the funds raised by Denny’s and its franchisees can help provide up to 12 million meals for children in need.
Since 2011, Denny’s has raised over $12.6 million, which can help provide up to 126 million meals for kids in need. The No Kid Hungry campaign continues to be a collaborative effort that is directly changing the lives of so many across the country.
Denny’s is committed to giving back to the communities it serves and that mission extends beyond its annual No Kid Hungry fundraiser.
Denny’s Mobile Relief Diner travels from coast to coast, feeding those who have been impacted by natural disasters, and has served more than 98,000 meals since its launch in 2017.
Most recently, the Mobile Relief Diner traveled to Cape Coral and Orlando, Florida to provide free, hot meals for those affected by Hurricane Ian that hit the west coast in October.
In addition, through its Hungry for Education scholarship program, Denny’s has awarded nearly $2 million in scholarships to students across the country who present unique, actionable ideas on ways Denny’s can help end childhood hunger in local communities.
Denny’s restaurants also support national and local charities to improve the health and well-being of the communities they serve.
No Kid Hungry does not provide individual meals; your donations help support programs that feed kids. Learn more at NoKidHungry.org/OneDollar.
