In an effort to end childhood hunger in America by 2015, No Kid Hungry, Share Our Strength, is teaming up with restaurants across the nation. The 2010 event will begin on September 19 and run through September 25. Liberty Restaurant Group (LRG), invites everyone within the community to help them as they actively work toward the goal of eliminating childhood hunger. Within the St. Louis Metro area LRG owns 23 Burger Kings, and all will be participating. A list of the 4 participating locations within the St. Charles County community can be found at the end of this article.
How can the budget minded family, get involved?
Those visiting the participating Burger Kings during the applicable dates will receive a coupon for a free kid’s meal. Redeem that coupon at a future date and Burger King will make a donation to this great cause.
Most parents look for ways to impress on their children the lessons of life that may be a little more difficult to comprehend. For those who have enough to share with others, this is a great teaching moment. Explaining more about the value of sharing and giving, while introducing the concept of growing up poor within this nation, may plant the seed for something greater later in life. Every hero begins as a child.
The LRG has set a goal of reaching 100,000 people within the metro St. Louis area, and raising $25,000 through this event. One small way that you and your family can help is in sharing the message. This can be done by simply sharing the link to this article with those who live, work, or play, in the area.
