No Kid Hungry, the campaign of Share Our Strength, a nonprofit committed to ending hunger and poverty, today announced its corporate QSR and fast casual partners for the holiday season. Customers dining at the partner establishments can benefit No Kid Hungry with their purchases.

With one in five kids in America living with hunger, every $1 donated to No Kid Hungry this holiday season can help connect a child with 10 healthy meals, according to the release.

"Many families celebrate the season with traditions and favorite holiday meals, but childhood hunger doesn't take a holiday for the 13 million kids it impacts," said Allison Shuffield, managing director of corporate partnerships at Share Our Strength.
