Opportunities for Restaurants
The connection between the restaurant industry and Share Our Strength’s focus on ending childhood hunger is a natural one. A chef’s desire to share his passion and talent to nourish people with the food he prepares often extends beyond his dining rooms and paying customers to those who struggle.
This is why for over 20 years, thousands of chefs and restaurateurs have become the backbone of Share Our Strength’s fundraising efforts. Through pioneering programs Share Our Strength provides the perfect opportunity for chefs and restaurateurs to showcase their cuisine while supporting a cause close to their hearts.
There are many ways that chefs and restaurateurs can support our efforts to make sure no child in America grows up hungry. You can:
- Participate in one of our events.
- Donate items for our live and silent auctions.
- Help sell tickets to our events by sending invitations to your database.
- Promote our events through your existing communications channels like newsletters, emails, receipts or bill-stuffers.
- Help raise awareness of the issue of childhood hunger in your community.
For more information for how your restaurant can join in Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America, please contact Joe Allegro.
