Dine Out at Any Mellow Mushroom in South Florida During September to Help End Childhood Hunger in America

    ATLANTA, GA, September 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- More than 16 million American children live without consistent access to food. This September, for the 4th consecutive year, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers is joining thousands of restaurants nationwide to support Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign by raising funds in their restaurants. During the month of September at any South Florida Mellow Mushroom location, there are four exciting ways to be a part of this initiative.

2. Make a donation at http://www.mmnokidhungry.com of $25 or more and receive a FREE small cheese pizza and a limited edition House of Shroom t-shirt.

Each $1 raised is equivalent to 10 meals for hungry children. This year Mellow Mushroom's goal is to raise $150,000, providing 1.5 million meals for children without food. "Childhood hunger is a very serious issue in this country. We are humbled to be involved with a cause that can help find a solution," Annica Kreider, VP of Brand Development for Mellow Mushroom says.

In 2014, the 8,661 participating restaurants raised $8.9 million for the No Kid Hungry campaign. These funds are used to raise awareness of child hunger in the U.S., create public-private partnerships that align kids with the resources they need, support nutrition programs like School Breakfast and Summer Meals, and educate kids and their families on how to cook healthy meals with limited resources.

Since the launch of the No Kid Hungry campaign in 2010, Dine Out for No Kid Hungry has increased more than 600% with an average of double-digit growth.
