Going out to eat is often a fun treat. It’s a break from the dishes and a chance to connect with family and friends. It gets even better in the month of September, when eating out becomes an opportunity to help fight childhood hunger.<\/p>\n

There are 16 million children in America who face food insecurity every day. That is a huge problem. Everyone can become part of the solution simply by dining out with Dine Out for No Kid Hungry.<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2008, Dine Out For No Kid Hungry has raised more than $28 million to help end childhood hunger so that every child in the U.S. gets the healthy food they need every day.<\/div>\n

Wondering how that money is used? These funds raised are used to do three things:<\/div>\n

Connect<\/span> kids in need to nutritious food where they live, learn and play through programs like school breakfast and summer meals;<\/span><\/li>\n

Educate<\/span> and empower low-income families to shop for and cook healthy meals at home on a budget; and
\n<\/span><\/li>\n

Raise awareness of childhood hunger in America and inspire action<\/span> in communities across the country.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
If you want to do more, please consider supporting No Kid Hungry<\/span> on social media and help close the breakfast gap<\/a><\/span> by sending
1 million messages to our country’s leaders about the importance of school breakfast.<\/p>\n
So get on out there to some yummy restaurants and do your part! Bon appetit, friends!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
