"Everyone—private citizens, businesses, policymakers, and nonprofits—has a role in helping end childhood hunger in America," said Billy Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength®. "I encourage everyone to help out by dining out often at these Quaker Steak & Lube restaurants. Every dollar donated helps connect a child to ten nutritious meals."

All of these restaurants, plus any others owned or operated by I-10 Hospitality, will donate 10% of their opening week's revenue and 1% of their total revenue on an ongoing basis to No Kid Hungry to help end childhood hunger.
