Menu of the Month
Eat out and feed a kid!

Feeding hungry minds and bodies^® is a team effort, and each month, Children’s Hunger Alliance teams up with a different restaurant to present the Menu of the Month.

The Menu of the Month (MOM) is typically a special on the menu that, when ordered, a portion of the sale price of the item or meal is donated to Children’s Hunger Alliance. MOM campaigns are great opportunities for Children’s Hunger Alliance to reach new audiences and to raise money to feed hungry kids.

Restaurants that participate in a MOM campaign benefit from media coverage (on radio, television and newspaper) and advertising that includes Children’s Hunger Alliance’s HungerLine newsletter (with a statewide circulation of 21-28,000 households per issue) and an electronic newsletter that reaches more than 25,000 people in Central Ohio.

Beginning with the March 2004 MOM campaign with Damon’s Grill, MOM is going statewide! As we move forward with these month long campaigns, we will be including more and more of the counties where we deliver our services.

M.O.M. was so great in April!
And when M.O.M. is great, that means we're able to feed more hungry kids with nutrious meals. A great big shout-out of "Thanks!" to Pesto Creative Italian Bistro for being our featured Menu of the Month (M.O.M.). And another great big shout-out of "Many Thanks!" to everyone who stopped in at Pesto to savor the wonderful selection of pasta, pizza and salads and remembered to mention Children's Hunger Alliance when paying their bill. Everytime that happened, Pesto donated $1 to the Alliance to help feed hungry kids. It's that easy for any type of restaurant to partner with us to help break the cycle of childhood hunger.
Do you know the owner or manager of a restaurant that would make the perfect M.O.M? Just tell them to contact Julie at 614-223-9200 and we'll do the rest!"
