"We're pleased to be able to support the Dine Out for No Kid Hungry program," says RDP's Steven Wesler. "Share our Strength depends on the hospitality industry for the success of the annual program, and we're urging all our exhibitors and guests?nearly all of whom are in the hospitality industry?to do their part to help Share Our Strength to end child hunger in the US."
Washington, DC-based Share Our Strength will have a booth at the event. In addition, the show is encouraging participation and donations from all show exhibitors, and will be urging the Tri-state bar and restaurant community to participate in the Dine Out for No Kid Hungry program during September. The Holiday 2013 Buying Show takes place September 9-10, right in the middle of the program month.
"We're confident our audience?both trade-facing?the industry?and customer facing?the bars and restaurants?will support Dine Out for No Kid Hungry." Wesler continues. "With more on and off-premise establishments within two hours drive of the Javits Center than anywhere else on earth, we couldn't think of a better time and place to support the program."
More than 16 million American children struggle with hunger. Share Our Strength's Dine Out For No Kid Hungry is a national fundraising event that brings together thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers to help ensure no child in America grows up hungry. During the Holiday 2013 Buying Show month of September, participating restaurants raise funds in a variety of ways to support the No Kid Hungry campaign. Founding Partner the National Restaurant Association sponsors the program, along with American Express, Ecolab, ONEHOPE Wine, SCA, Food Network, and Clear Channel.
September is No Kid Hungry month, when Share Our Strength asks consumers to dine at thousands of restaurants that have joined its Dine Out For No Kid Hungry fundraising program. Restaurants participating in the program create engaging ways to raise money (often involving consumer donations), and donate it to Share Our Strength's No Kid hungry campaign. Since summer 2011, the campaign has helped bring 34 million additional meals to kids who need them.
The show urges exhibitors, bars and restaurants and attendees alike to visit DineOutForNoKidHungry.org and participate. It's not too late!
