Mellow Mushroom sets $100K fundraising goal for No Kid Hungry

Throughout September, Mellow Mushroom is joining Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign by raising funds to end childhood hunger. The company has introduced three ways for customers to help with the cause:

• For every order of Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Oven Roasted Wings, Mellow Mushroom will donate $1 on the customer’s behalf to the No Kid Hungry campaign.
• Customers who place a donation in-store of $1 or more will receive a mushroom with their name to pin on the wall.
• Through the end of September, for every $10 donation made online at nokidhungry.org/mellowmushroom, receive an entry to one of two trips – one to the Hard Rock All-Inclusive resort destination of your choice or brew beer with the brew master in Fort Collins, Colorado, at the New Belgium Brewery.

"Childhood hunger is a very serious issue in this country, and we want to be a part of the solution," Annica Kreider, VP of brand development, said in a news release.

Mellow Mushroom’s fundraising goal this year is $100,000.

In 2013, restaurants nationwide raised nearly $8 million for the No Kid Hungry campaign. More than 10,000 restaurants are participating in the fundraising campaign this year.
