With today being the day pretty much every child is back to school, it brings to mind the fact that some of them may be arriving on empty stomachs. We hear this message every year, but that’s because it’s such a monumental problem. It can’t be fixed overnight, and it might be a battle we’ll always have to fight.
So let’s fight it.
For the third year in a row, I’m working with Denny’s in support of the No Kid Hungry Campaign, and I’ll do it every year for as long as children need help!
Two Ways To Help!1. Make a donation – Now through Oct. 2, every $1 donation received will provide 10 healthy meals to a child in need. Even small donations will yield big results. With your donation, you’ll also receive a discount coupon for your next visit!
2. Share a food pic with hashtag #ShareMySlam on Twitter and Instagram. Each time the hashtag is used, Denny’s will donate $1 to No Kid Hungry!
Share a food pic on Twitter or Instagram w/ #ShareMySlam and Denny’s will donate $1 (10 meals) to No Kid Hungry! #ad pic.twitter.com/WZM1itfNQC

I hope you’ll help me champion Denny’s No Kid Hungry efforts. We can make a difference!
Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen says
Kudos to Denny’s for coming up with such a great campaign! I think we should do our part to help with the campaign
Karlaroundtheworld | Karla says
Finally, more causes that help both avid posters and the kids and people in need! Of course, with all the money I would wish for I can just donate straight out but this really works for me, no stress and commitments.
Celeste SunDragonLady Burgess says
Yes, we can all make a difference. I don’t really eat at Denny’s but I will surely make an effort to get there to be a part of the movement to make sure no kid is left hungry. Great post
Anosa says
I have never heard of this before its so amazing! I always try to do what i can for charity, especially when children are involved. If everyone helpled with a small amunt then no one would ever be hungry
Janell Poulette says
This program is amazing! I love our local Dennys so will definitely be participating.
Marielle Altenor says
This is such an amazing campaign! Kudos to you! I grew up poor and know what it’s like to go without food. Happy that Denny’s is doing this!
Claudia Blanton says
what a wonderful and worthy campaign, good for you. Here in Las Vegas, homelessness is rampant, most public parks are filled with people living in them. One of those families I noticed today, has a younger child. I hope that stuff like this can help them, and people like them. Blessings!
Jenni says
Sounds like a great campaign, great to raise awareness of it x
Leanne says
i like campaigns like this, even better when there’s multiple ways to get involved.

Travel Blogger says
Its amazing to see the power of a dollar.

it’s one of the most horrible things in the world – hungry children. Everyone should have proper food every day. I remember that this has been an issue basically all my life yet it’s still actual. We should have more similar minded as Denny’s!
Mariana says
It makes me sad to think that many kids look forward to school because it’s the one meal they can depend on each day. I commend Denny’s for doing this for our country’s children!

This makes me so sad. I’m so glad something is being done about it.

Amanda Love says
No child deserves to go hungry! This is a good initiative from Denny’s and it’s nice that you’re helping promote this program as well. Hunger has been an on going issue and we have yet to put an end to it.
Akhil Sharma says
Sikh master “Guru Nanak Dev Ji” established a concept of Langar (Free kitchen) in Gurudwaras, in 15 century where people can make food and donate money for food supplies. The concept was designed to uphold the equality; where people of all class, religion, and faith eat food without any discrimination. It expresses the ethics of sharing,inclusiveness, community, as well as the oneness of all humankind.

Shirley Stewart says
I love to see big company’s get involved with great cause. This is one that hits all types of people and we should never have a kid hungry. Our local schools do so much threw out the year to make the kids aware and teach them giving back is just as important as receiving.

I love supporting Denny’s especially because they do things like this! Such a great company and great food!
Annemarie LeBlanc says
Me too! I always support products/services that give back to the community and help those in need. Child hunger is a worldwide issue and it should stop. Children must have this very basic human need – food and nutrition.

Francesca says
Such a great campaign I love finding ways of helping where I can!!!

Such a great idea. It takes so little effort with such a huge impact, why would we not want to participate?
Inspiring Kitchen says
this is such an amazing cause. By simply donating a very small amount one can already make a difference
Noelle D says
We have been tryin to explain to Broxton how there are kids out there that only get to eat when at school. I love the no kid hungry campaign because it works towards eliminating that and it’s something Broxton can help with. Way to go Dennys!
Bee says
Thanks for this info.
I will def donate as well. Thanks once again

Hannah says
What a great cause – I hadn’t heard of it before X
Rachel says
What a really good way to give back. I always ensure I donate to food banks, more so if food is on a 3 for 2 offer or BOGOF and I really don’t need both items x
Jenn @ SimpleAtHome.com says
A good breakfast is so important so kids can focus for school. This is a big problem and a great program working to fix it.
Melanie Edjourian says

I am all too aware of how hard families are struggling and even if it’s just a little bit if I can help I want to.
We love eating at Denny’s and now that we know they are helping something dear to my heart I can see us going there a lot more!
Nicole Escat says
That’s really really smart campaign! Childhood hunger is one of problems in our society! I would love to spread this campaign.

It is so heartbreaking to know that there are kids out there that go hungry! I am happy Denny’s is doing something to provide a solution.

It’s just heart breaking to think of a child going through the day with nothing to sustain him/her. It’s reassuring to know that Denny’s continues to support some an important mission.

We must start super early – we’ve been back to school for three weeks already. This is a fabulous initiative.

I hate the idea of good people going hungry, particularly children. I don
t recall hearing about this but it sounds like a good reason to stop at Denny’s soon.
gingermommyrants says
It is so sad with the amount of food that is thrown out each day that anyone goes hungry. I am always happy to help support companies that are trying to combat hunger. I will have to go to Denny’s to support the No Kid Hungry Campaign.
Tammi Roy says
We love to celebrate our birthdays at Denny’s. You get a free Grand Slam for your birthday. The No Kid Hungry is a great Campaign.

No Kid Hungry is a fantastic Campaign. We love to eat at Denny’s. The food is always so delicious.

I love this initiative. I just tweeted. A child hungry just breaks my heart. Praying we can combat this in some way

It is still sad that in a country so rich many are hungry. Programs like this help all who are hungry.

This looks like a great program. As a nation we definitely need to focus on this issue more.
Rachel says
This is such a brilliant cause, It’s great that you are shining a light on this campaign and spreading awareness! xo

Such a great campaign for such a great cause. It’s wonderful to hear that Denny’s is helping to fight childhood hunger.
Cathi Crismon says
I love this campaign! I’ve worked with elementary school kids for 26 years and I’ve seen those hungry faces. The kids knew that no matter the circumstances they could come to me and I would get them food. Especially when I was the Health Clerk.
Tell me Liz … can it be any food photo or do we need to go into Denny’s?
Michele says
What a sad commentary on our country that so many children should be going hungry. I applaud Dennys for taking a stand and being a part of the solution.
Marcie W. says
Working to stop childhood hunger is a cause close to my heart. I look forward to sharing a photo of my meal and helping to support such a great campaign.

It’s so good that larger companies like Denny’s are working hard on great causes like this x

Thanks for sharing the details about how to help kids fight hunger. I try to donate to causes like this as often as I can, mostly when I’m at the store and they are having a food drive. Now I have more options to help.
Fatima says
This is such a great cause. I will share it with friends and family so the word spreads all over.

Its so sad that this is still such a big problem nowadays though 🙁

I think this is such a great program! I love that Denny’s is doing something like this!
Janet W. says
What a fantastic giveaway and easy way to give back! No child should ever be hungry!

Such a good way to help support kids and getting them the food they need. I really like that $1 will be donated to those in need. Denny’s is a great place to eat at!

Kathy says
This is so great! I’m glad that Denny’s is doing this. What a great campaign too. I’ll make sure to post a photo and use that hashtag!

What a fantastic campaign to get involved with – it’s so sad that there is still a lot of child poverty/hunger around x
Pam says
It’s so true, it’s so sad and child hunger is so widespread even in our own cities and towns. It’s heartbreaking. I’m glad places like Denny’s give back.
Tammilee Tips says
I had not heard of this promotion from Denny’s! I love when companies give back like this!
Tara says
No child should ever go hungry even though we see it more and more every day. It’s great that Denny’s is doing this and it’s so easy to help.
Melissa @ Married my sugar daddy says
I love how easy it is to get involved and make a difference. And this just makes me want to patronize Denny’s big time!
Meagan says
Such a great campaign! Thanks for letting me know how to make a donation or share a photo!
Elena says
It’s a great cause to support. I wish no kid would be hungry in this world
Mami2jcn says
We love Dennys! This is a great campaign for the kids to get involved in.
Stacy says
Glad to see that Denny’s is supporting the program again. I work in a retail store that includes groceries and the amount of food that we are able to donate to Feed America is great, but the amount of food we have to throw away every day is absolutely devastating. I don’t think people realize that once a food item leaves the store, we have to throw it away (even canned goods and boxed items like cereal and pasta). I always try to discourage people from returning food items for “stupid” reasons (as in unopened food items that were bought by mistake or they are just looking for some quick money back) and explain to them that all food returned has to be thrown away and ask is there anyone that they can give it to or donate to the local food bank. Some people have a heart, but most people don’t care how much we waste every single day. We have so many kids in our local school system that are on public support and it breaks my heart knowing how many children do not get the food that they need on weekends and school holidays.
Michelle Rogers says
Wow, thanks for pointing that out about food returns! So much better to donate it…good to know.
Lisa Brown says
A very worthy cause. Denny’s has been doing much in helping curb the hunger crisis, they seem to have a campaign going most of the time.
Meagan says
Totally agree. Denny’s is great! Love all of these ways to really get involved!
Amy Desrosiers says
I am all about helping kids and people to beat hunger. I love that places like Denny’s make it so easy to give back.
Tiffany says
Sounds like a great program! We don’t have a Denny’s near us but I appreciate it when corporations give back.
Megan Ogden says
Its sad to think that there are also kids in our own community that only get meals at school. ):
Christine - The Choosy Mommy says
It makes me so sad when school ends because I have heard about children not having enough food during the day since they aren’t at school. We need to do a better job of tracking these children and making sure they get the food they need! Great campaign!
Cindy Gordon says
This looks like a great campaign as it touches on items near to my heart! How easy to get involved! I love it!
tara pittman says
Our school has the food bank deliver food once a week. Parents can then get a big box of healthy food.
Shanna Uptergrove says
How fantastic! I know kids are starving out there. Our Junior high does a Snack Pak program and sends kids home with a bag of food that they can snack on or have for breakfast!
Claire says
Such a great idea. No child should be without food.
Nancy Reyes says
Its always a great feeling, when you can help a child. Especially one that’s starving.
christine says
I’ve recently become aware of how much of a problem childhood hunger is right here in my own area. It saddens me and I love this program.
Amanda Ripsam says
I am a huge believer that no kid should go hungry I think it’s unfair for some kids to have to make do and go with out simply because they can not provide for themselves and their parents have to. With all the help this country sends over seas there is no reason any kid here should go hungry. I am very passionate about poverty and I love causes like Denny’s no kid goes hungry.
mel says
I love that Denny’s does this. Kid’s deserve a chance no matter how poor or whatever they may be. 🙂
Priyanka Mukherjee says
Child malnutrition is a serious problem. It impeded their growth and affects them for the rest of their life. Such campaigns are a noble cause for the society.
lisa says
This is one of the best campaigns. I hate the thought of any child without food to eat. There are so many kids out there that don’t eat more than once a day, sometimes if that.
Melanie Smith says
It is a fantastic idea! This is the best campaign ever. Denny’s is doing and amazing job.
Emily says
Such a great idea! It is nice to see companies doing something good for others!
Tania Potter - Soul Sense Coaching says
Such a wonderful project, to have anyone hungry in a world where food is thrown away is a tragedy.
Paula Schuck says
I love to see a big company like Denny’s doing their part to make the world a better place. Childhood hunger is such a horrible thing! It’s bad enough to have to be hungry like that as an adult, but as a child? Breaks my heart.
Jeanette says
This is wonderful! I think more business need to do this! For those that don’t have the money to donate, and they just have to tweet is easy!! I love it!
chei says
This is so good. I do sometimes too help other children like donating ls clothes and giving some food.
Jennifer B says
This is a wonderful cause and I am always happy to help in any way to end childhood hunger! I am glad to hear that Denny’s is doing this too!
LaaLaa says
This is amazing. We often forget that others are not as privileged as us or our children. Denny’s are doing a brilliant thing and you are for supporting and spreading the word!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I love, love, LOVE this! Childhood hunger is number one on my list of heartbreaking problems in this world. I love that Denny’s is helping to fight it. Thanks for the heads up!
