Atlanta,
GA – September 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / For the third consecutive
year, Church’s Chicken®
has set a company fundraising record with approximately $400,000 raised
in donations for No Kid Hungry
in 2017. The figure is almost $85,000 more than 2016 and brings the total
raised over the last two years to almost $700,000, which equates to 7 million
meals for hungry kids across the country. The company presented a check
to Diana Hovey, the Senior Vice President for Dine Out for No Kid Hungry
on Wednesday, September 20th during Church’s® yearly Excellence
in Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas.
“The work we do with No Kid
Hungry is some of the most gratifying work we have the privilege of taking
part in,” said Dusty Profumo, Chief Financial Officer for Church’s,
and one of two people who presented the check on behalf of the company.
“This organization not only shares our love of community, but also our
values like Stepping Up and Doing the Right Thing, so this is a relationship
we genuinely treasure.”

Georgia Margeson, Senior
Director of Advertising at Church’s, agrees. “No Kid Hungry has
allowed us to make an impact in the communities we serve in ways that go
far beyond what’s on our menu. Our yearly No Kid Hungry campaign engages
our guests, our employees, our managers, and our franchisees – and the
generosity we see each year only continues to grow. We hope we can continue
to set new records with our donation every year.”
From March 27 through April
23, all participating Church’s restaurants offered a coupon booklet
with more than $20 in savings in return for a $1 donation to No Kid Hungry.
Restaurants also offered a Full Hearts family meal for a special value
price that also included a $1 donation. 100% of the proceeds from booklet
sales and 100% of the $1 donation from Full Hearts meals goes directly
to No Kid Hungry, which is ending childhood hunger by making complete meals
more available and accessible for the millions of children in America who
struggle with hunger.
“It’s partners like Church’s
that make our work possible,” said Diana Hovey. “The restaurant and their
guests continue to demonstrate the power of compassion and community with
the ever-growing amount they donate to our efforts. On behalf of our organization
and the millions of children who we help – we thank Church’s and
its loyal guests for all they’ve done and continue to do.”
