Church's Chicken® Raises Over $350,000 in Support of No Kid Hungry
One of the World's Largest Fried Chicken Brands Surpasses 2016 Goals and Helps Provide More Than 3 Million Meals to Kids in Need
ATLANTA, June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, Church's Chicken® has turned in an impressive fundraising performance on behalf of No Kid Hungry. Last year's efforts earned the brand No Kid Hungry's Newcomer Award, and the 2017 results are delivering yet another record-setting total. This year, Church's will proudly help No Kid Hungry provide more than 3 million meals to kids in the United States, with a total fundraising tally of $352,299.
"Our guests, team members and franchisees have shown a tremendous commitment to the communities and families we serve," said Georgia Margeson, Senior Director of Advertising at Church's Chicken and brand champion of the fundraising effort. "Everything we've achieved is because of their support, and we're deeply moved and honored to continue making a difference through our relationship with No Kid Hungry."
From March 27 through April 23, all participating Church's restaurants also offered guests a coupon booklet with more than $20 in savings in return for a $1 donation to No Kid Hungry. Restaurants offered a Fill Your Plate, Fill Your Heart family meal for a special value price that also included a $1 donation. 100% of the proceeds from booklet sales and 100% of the $1 donation from the family meals goes directly to No Kid Hungry, a campaign that is ending childhood hunger by connecting children in need to programs like school breakfast and summer meals, and teaches low-income families to cook healthy, affordable foods.
