Children are my soft spot, and I can’t bear to see them hurting or hungry. Kids are too innocent, too precious, too young to experience suffering, and that’s why you’ll often see me championing causes that come to their aid, like the Denny’s No Kid Hungry annual campaign.
I think it’s easy to pay lip service and say we care about something, but actions speak louder than words, and I’m totally guilty of being self-involved sometimes when I could be helping.
So I step up every year to spread awareness about the #DennysNKH campaign to help feed hungry kids, and there are several ways you can help too (and one involves enjoying a meal at Denny’s! ???)
Ways to Support Denny’s No Kids Hungry Campaign
On your next visit, donate $3 and you’ll receive $9 worth of coupons for diner favorites, redeemable at participating locations. (Good through Oct. 12, 2015)
Make a donation online directly to the campaign. I’ve set up a donation page through my blog to make it easy!
