SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today across America, 1 in every 5 children are facing hunger on a daily basis. This September, Jack in the Box (NASDAQ: JACK) is continuing its partnership with No Kid Hungry to support kids and families struggling with food insecurity, one dollar at a time. September is Hunger Action Month, so for the entire month at Jack in the Box, guests who donate $1 to No Kid Hungry will receive a coupon for a free small curly fry to use on their next visit.
Jack in the Box has been a proud partner of No Kid Hungry since 2015, and has raised $4.6 million and counting. Their goal for this September is to raise $1 million to help feed kids and create the space for them to thrive. This year, all 2,200 Jack in the Box locations across the U.S. will participate, and, as always, 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to No Kid Hungry.
“Serving craveable food is what we do, so helping feed kids is a mission that resonates deeply with our franchisees and employees,” said Ryan Ostrom, Chief Marketing Officer of Jack in the Box. “It’s been nearly a decade of partnering with No Kid Hungry, and one of my favorite things is the dedication and passion our team members bring to this cause every year, trying to surpass what they raised the year prior. We wanted to make this offer a win-win for our guests, who can support No Kid Hungry while receiving free curly fries.”
No Kid Hungry works with communities across all 50 states to improve and expand existing programs that feed kids school breakfast, after school suppers and snacks, and summer meals to ensure all kids have access to three healthy meals a day.
