This is the first year the brand is partnering with No Kid Hungry, a national campaign working to end childhood hunger by helping launch and improve programs that give all kids access to three healthy meals a day.

"Our new partnership with No Kid Hungry helps fulfill our mission to spread sunshine and inspire better within our communities," said Charles Watson, CEO of Tropical Smoothie Café, LLC.
