Event at Lime Fresh Mexican Grill

LIME FRESH MEXICAN GRILL partners in the Great American Dine Out to help end childhood hunger Share Our Strength’s Great American Dine Out, presented by American Express Launches Sept. 21-28, 2008. A historic landmark movement designed by and for the restaurant industry to ensure no child in America grows up hungry is gaining momentum around the country. Share Our Strength’s Great American Dine Out, presented by American Express is a one-week event designed to rally the entire restaurant industry and encourage millions of consumers to dine out and end childhood hunger in America.

 

LIME FRESH MEXICAN GRILL is a proud participating restaurant of the event. "No child in the wealthiest country in the world should ever go to bed hungry," said Billy Shore, co-founder of Share Our Strength. "Sadly, it happens every day. In fact, one in every six children in America suffers from uncertain access to the healthy, nutritious foods they need, which can lead to lifelong and devastating consequences."

 

"Each and every one of us can do our part to end childhood hunger by eating out often at the Great American Dine Out’s participating restaurants during Sept. 21-28, 2008," said Lime’s Founder/CEO John Kunkel.

 

Lime Fresh Mexican Grill has joined this new important initiative to end childhood hunger in America. Lime Fresh Mexican Grill will donate 1% of sales for the week during the week of Sept. 21-28.

 

"Restaurants are truly cornerstones of their local communities as well as of the nation, and more than nine out of 10 actively participate in efforts to make a difference for those in need," said Dawn Sweeney, President and CEO of the National Restaurant Association. "We are proud to partner with Share Our Strength and American Express for the Great American Dine Out and encourage all our members to be part of this initiative to help end childhood hunger in America. This is a great opportunity for restaurant operators, staff and patrons nationwide to get involved and work together through culinary channels to help ensure that no child goes hungry."
