Company's 2013 Fundraising Efforts Raised More for the Fight Against Childhood Hunger in the U.S. Than Its Previous Two Years Combined

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Feb. 10, 2014 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - Denny's Corporation (Nasdaq:DENN), franchisor and operator of one of America's largest franchised full-service restaurant chains, is pleased to announce the company raised more than $730,000 for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign in 2013 to help end childhood hunger in America. Since 2011, America's Diner has donated more than $1.4 million in total to the No Kid Hungry campaign, which is helping to feed millions of children nationwide.

"We are grateful for another amazing campaign year and would like to thank our generous guests, franchisees and dedicated team members who have demonstrated their shared passion and commitment for helping us end childhood hunger with No Kid Hungry," said John Miller, Denny's Chief Executive Officer and Dine Out for No Kid Hungry Advisory Board Co-Chairman. "As we embark on the exciting milestone of surpassing $1 million in total donations, and more importantly giving the nation's children access to healthy, attainable meals, we are eager to continue doing our part in the fight to end childhood hunger."

In its third year of partnership with Share Our Strength, more than 1,200 Denny's diners nationwide participated in an in-restaurant fundraiser last fall in which Denny's guests who donated $3 to support No Kid Hungry received a coupon book for their contributions. Recognizing the influence of the program and its commitment to helping feed children nationwide, Denny's chose to extend its fundraising calendar through the full month of October to increase its guests' impact to this important cause. To complement the in-store fundraising drive, Denny's also partnered with America's Egg Farmers to further its efforts in providing nutritious food to hungry children. For every 'Build Your Own Omelette' purchased Sept. 9 through Sept. 15, America's Egg Farmers donated one egg to No Kid Hungry partners, resulting in 500,000 eggs donated on behalf of Denny's guests.
