Noodles & Company offering coupons for donations to fight hunger

Noodles & Company is teaming up with No Kid Hungry to raise money to help end childhood hunger.

Until Oct. 9, customers can donate $2 to the nonprofit to receive a coupon for a free shareable item on their next visit. Each $2 donation helps provide up to 20 meals for kids in need, and the campaign has raised nearly $1 million in the last two years.

“For the third consecutive year, we’re so proud and thankful to have Noodles & Company’s continued support of our mission to help ensure that no child in this country ever goes hungry again,” said Diana Hovey, senior vice president at Share Our Strength, the organization behind No Kid Hungry. “With just the simple act of dining out and making a donation at Noodles & Company during September and October, we can all help make an immediate difference in a big way.”

Long Island’s Noodles & Company, operated by Doherty Enterprises, is located at 996 Old Country Rd., in Garden City. The coupons are valid through Oct. 23.

Since launching its campaign in 2010, No Kid Hungry and its partners have provided children with more than 775 million meals.
