Black Angus Steakhouse Raises Nearly $12,000 For No Kid Hungry To Help End Childhood Hunger In U.S.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Angus Steakhouse, the original American steakhouse, announced today that its "Season of Giving" Campaign raised funds for No Kid Hungry® that will help provide more than 118,000 nutritious meals to children in the U.S. struggling with hunger. Through this initiative, Black Angus donated $1 for every dine-in order of the braised short ribs purchased from Nov. 14, 2017 through Jan. 15, 2018 to No Kid Hungry, a campaign that connects children in need to the healthy food they need every day.
"We are passionate about No Kid Hungry's mission to combat the childhood hunger crisis and are thrilled to support them," said Chris Ames, chief executive officer, Black Angus Steakhouse. "Thank you to all of the Black Angus Steakhouse employees and customers who rallied around this important cause and helped make this donation possible, which will help the 13 million children facing hunger today."

"Thanks to Black Angus Steakhouse's generous donation, more hungry children will have access to the healthy meals they need to grow and thrive," said Diana Hovey, senior vice president, No Kid Hungry. "The more money raised, the closer we get to making no kid hungry a reality in the US."
