For its inaugural partnership with the organization, Salata will sell $5 coupon booklets at its 49 locations throughout Texas, California and Illinois, with all proceeds going to No Kid Hungry. Valued at $12, the coupons are redeemable for a variety of free items including premium toppings like avocado, signature drinks and more.
For every dollar raised, No Kid Hungry can provide 10 meals to children in need.
"Our mission is to serve customized, healthy options to our customers, and No Kid Hungry is committed to ensuring kids get the healthy foods they need," said Salata founder Berge Simonian. "We hope our guests will join us in supporting this very worthy campaign to provide relief to families in their communities."

"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®, the nonprofit that runs the No Kid Hungry campaign. "I encourage everyone to dine out often at participating restaurants wherever they are this September.
