CHARLOTTE, N.C. , Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Famous Toastery, the nationally-renowned better breakfast franchise known for its Famously Fresh and simple-scratch menu, is partnering with Feeding the Carolinas this holiday season to raise crucial funds and awareness for their communities. One in seven people – and more than 660,000 children in the Carolinas alone struggle with hunger; a challenge that's only magnified during the holidays, particularly as many are still recovering from Hurricane Helene's devastation in September.

Feeding the Carolinas is a branch of Feeding America and provides food to 146 counties between North and South Carolina.

As many dedicate this time of year to giving back to those in need, Famous Toastery is encouraging guests to consider donating to Feeding the Carolinas to provide support to those suffering from food scarcity in their home markets, Throughout the month of December, guests can donate in-store and online in the amount of $1, $3 or $5. In addition to collecting monetary donations, the Famous Toastery team will spend a portion of its annual holiday party packing meals at their local Feeding the Carolinas chapter, ensuring their communities have meals this holiday season.

"We recognize the profound impact food insecurity has on families in our community, especially during the holidays and in wake of events like Hurricane Helene," said Mike Sebazco, President of Famous Toastery. "By working together with Feeding the Carolinas, we can extend our mission beyond our dining tables, through raising funds, volunteering our time, and ensuring more people have access to meals this season."

Feeding the Carolinas is a branch of Feeding America and provides food to 146 counties between North and South Carolina. Food is distributed to community-supported food banks with every dollar donated being equivalent to approximately $7 worth of food. The goal of Feeding the Carolinas is to educate and advocate for food security.

"We are incredibly grateful to partner with a homegrown brand like Famous Toastery as we work to fight hunger and build healthier, resilient communities," stated Mike Darrow, Executive Director of Feeding the Carolinas.
